Removed from Palmer's 1869 "Report of Surveys...for a route extending the Kansas Pacific Railway to the Pacific Ocean." Palmer used an exact copy Keeler's 1868 reduced scale edition of his National Map of the United States without credit in this first issue although Palmer's map adds much material along the line of the proposed southern continental route, especially in the Grand Canyon, in fact, this map is best known as the first map to use the name "Grand Canyon" of the Colorado. The Kansas Pacific had dreams of extending their line to California, as shown on this map, but it never happened. The map shows the routes of the Northern Pacific, the Union and Central Pacific, and the Southern Route. Ms color red and blue lines have been drawn on the various routes, adding an additional route from Centreville, Nevada, to Portland, Oregon (probably following Dodge's proposals - see his report). The main Kansas Pacific line has at least sixteen proposed branches! There is a later issue of this map that credits Keeler as a source (see our copy). |

Wheat devotes three pages to this map and states "Altogether, this is a fascinating map, particularly to one who has read the annual reports of the Union Pacific engineers, almost always published without illustrative maps." The map shows the route of the railroad from the Missouri river to Humboldt Wells in Nevada (the Central Pacific beat them to this point) and provides great topographic detail on both sides of the route, for distances varying from 40 to 100 miles. A profile of the route appears below the main map. Separately published by the Union Pacific, this is a scarce map. Without color. Scale 20 miles to 1 inch. Relief shown by hachures. |

More refined version than that in the 1869 "Yosemite Guide-Book" but less refined than the version in the 1870 "Yosemite Guide-Book", hence our selection of 1869 for the estimated date. The result of a surveys begun in 1863 under the direction of Whitney, the State Geologist. This map is among the most detailed and largest scale maps published of Yosemite during this part of the 19th century, rivaled only by the Wheeler Survey map of Yosemite published in 1883. Because of the folds, this map appears to have been printed as a part of a book, either "The Yosemite Book" or "The Yosemite Guide-Book". This map, all versions of which have the date 1865 printed on the map, is in at least four editions with the most noteworthy aspect being the revision of the rendering of the Valley floor: the first editions had a very inaccurate alignment of the Merced river, this edition of the map is the first to have a good river alignment plus the following features were added: Valley floor redrawn, limited number of Valley structures drawn and labeled including "Ferry", "Leidig's Hotel", "Hutching's Hotel", "Hutching's Hs." (House), Lamon's Hs.", three orchards, "Ladders Bridge", "Cap of Liberty", "Engraved & printed by Julius Bien, N.Y." |
