Magnificent, huge atlas showing the area of the 40th Parallel Survey in topographical and geological maps. Wheat notes: "These are pioneer survey maps, and as such are most interesting. Mapping the West in so broad a cross-section had never before been attempted, a portent of things to come." King, at the age of 25, was made Geologist-in-charge of the Survey in 1867. He was formally ordered "to examine and describe the geological structure, geographical condition and natural resources of a belt of country extending from the 120th meridian eastward to the 105th meridian, along the 40th parallel of latitude with sufficient expansion north and south to include the lines of 'Central' and 'Union Pacific' railroads..." (Wheat). The topographical sheets depict features by brush shading rather than hachuring. In original binding -rare. Bound in green half leather with a label on the front, "Geological and Topographical Atlas Accompanying the Report of the Geological Exploration of the Fortieth Parallel. Clarence King, Geologist in Charge." |

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." |
