A large promotional map of an early Iowa river town. See Andrea Iowa Atlas, page 402 for the early history of Clinton. The Iowa Land Company speculated that the railroad crossing of the Mississippi would occur at Clinton's site and thus bring many settlers to the area. The Chicago, Iowa and Nebraska Railroad was formed in 1856 (Andreas) and the bridge, tracks and roundhouse are shown on the map, probably prospectively. This map was most likely used for promotion of land sales. Without color. Showing tract names and lot numbers. |

| Note |
A promotional plat map for a city that never "got off the ground" (or map). At the top of the plat for the city is a park-like reserve titled "Golden Spring Reserve" and there is a vignette of an Indian sitting next to the Golden Spring. Central Bluffs does not appear on any other maps of the period, except for a very small settlement called "Golden Spring P.O." which shows in the Nebraska State atlas of 1885 - apparently the city never happened and the hapless early lot buyers became Golden Springs. The promotion was probably based on the expectation of a major railroad crossing the Missouri from Iowa and heading west (shown as the Nebraska Central Railroad and the Lyons and Iowa Central Railroad on the inset map) right through the proposed town. This route shows briefly in the late 1850's maps, then disappears, another railroad promotion that did not happen. And so went the city of Central Bluffs. Nearby and closer to the Missouri, a Central City appears briefly on some maps of the period, then also disappears. It may be related to this development. Map is without color. |

The Norris catalog lists an 1859 Map of Hayes Tract also by M. Hoadley with lots to be sold at auction by H.A. Cobb, but the San Francisco map is not printed above the Hayes Tract map.

Important early map of Sausalito, showing the lands of the Sausalito Land & Ferry Company. Oriented with Southwest at the top. Relief shown by hachures. The map credits G.T. Brown & Co. in San Francisco as the printer and W. Vallance Gray as the lithographer, making this one of the earliest maps produced by G.T. Brown & Company. In 1868, the Saucelito Land & Ferry Company purchased a tract of land and began advertising water front property in Saucelito Ranch. Bulkley laid out the town in a series of town lots and larger country seats, along with the streets shown on the map. The first building constructed was the Saucelito Hotel in 1869. The map provides an excellent look at the detailed planning associated with the re-birth of Saucelito in 1868. The town is meticulously laid out over a fine topographical presentation of the terrain adjoining Richardson's Bay and extending to Bear Valley and Tennessee Valley. A number of the waterfront blocks laid out on the map were actually underwater at the time of its construction, as highlighted by the meandering coastline adjoining Richardson's Bay. This ambitious use of the waterfront did not result in permanent streets or development for a significant portion of the underwater lands, but some parts of this original layout did in fact survive in the present layout of the town. The map would appear to be the earliest printed map of Sausalito and is pre-dated in OCLC only by a photocopy of the G.F. Emmons manuscript map of the town, produced circa 1851. 3 examples of map found (Bancroft, British Library and Huntington Library). Brown produced another map of Sausalito in 1875 (1 copy located - Bancroft). No other maps of Sausalito were apparently published until 1880, when the Schmidt Label Company published a a new map for the Sausalito Land and Ferry Company (1 copy located at Yale). |
