Nicollet, in the years 1836, 37, 38, 39, and 40 ; assisted in 1838,39, & 40, by Leiut. J.C. Fremont ... Reduced and compiled under the direction of Col. J.J. Abert ... by Lieut. W.H.

Note
This map is the earliest accurate mapping of the region of the Northern Plains and Upper Mississippi River. Lithographed by C. B. Graham. Extends from St. Louis north to the Canadian Border, and west along the Missouri River. Printed on two sheets, joined. The map is based upon a series of systematic instrument surveys conducted by Nicollet, assisted by Lt. John Charles Fremont, of the Army Corps of Topographical Engineer. His map was years ahead of its time, with its regional concept and sound basis in instrument readings and astronomically determined points. Had he lived longer, Nicollet would undoubtedly have become the official government cartographer of the whole trans-Mississippi West. This copy is the House of Reprentatives issue. See our 2488.000 for the Senate issued, which appears identical except for the lithographer.

First edition, first issue. A larger version of the accompanying map was issued in 1842 with scale of 1:600,000 - this version is unknown to us (and anyone else we have met)- Bray states that only 200 copies were printed; the House of Representatives issued this 1843 edition in 1845 with no changes, although Wagner Camp says the map was smaller and Bray states that it was a more faithful representation of the original 1842 map. See Donald Jackson, The Expeditions of John Charles Fremont, for a history of the Nicollet map and all the Fremont maps. Fremont worked extensively with Nicollet on this map and "this was the work which trained Fremont in cartography." (Jackson). This map was the earliest accurate map of the Northern Plains and the Upper Mississippi. G.K. Warren, in his Memoir, stated that this "map was one of the greatest contributions ever made to American geography." Nicollet died in 1843. His map was years ahead of its time, with its regional concept and sound basis in instrument readings and astronomically determined points. Goetzmann: "Had he lived one more decade, Nicollet would undoubtedly have become the official government cartographer of the whole trans-Mississippi West." Rebound in brown fabric covers with "Hydrographical Basin of the Upper Mississippi, I.N. Nicollet, 1843" in gold on the spine.
