Note
Very early issue of Warren's Pacific Railroad general map of the U.S. When the Pacific Railway Survey reports were published in 1855, the large Warren map of the U.S. was not completed and a smaller map was issued with a note by Warren that the larger map would soon be ready for publication. This issue of the map is dated 1855 only, unlike the final issue which was dated 1854-5-6-7 (see our #0693). Also, the list of authorities here is shorter than the later issue and has no dates later than 1855. Most importantly, this issue has major areas blank that are filled in the final issue. Various routes are drawn in ms on the map, in red and blue lines, all proceeding from points in the Midwest to the west coast, as well as some north - south routes. Also, a red line is drawn from east to west next to the 38th parallel. We think these are the trails used by travelers, perhaps a few years later, but we can't be sure. There is another early issue of this map that is between this 1855 issue and the version published with the final reports - it is dated 1857, has fewer "blank" areas that this and has more and later dated authorities (see WH copy).

2nd 1858 edition, adds Ives Grand Canyon expedition. Also adds information from Warren's third expedition. Schubert says there was an earlier 1858 edition that filled in information in Oregon but did not include the Ives information. Schubert also quotes a letter from Warren stating that this edition was sent to the printer in 1859. Freyhold's name appears on the title for the first time. It is dropped in the next (1867) edition and then reappears in the 1868 edition. Rare - apparently there is only one other copy of this map - in the Millard Fillmore Map Collection in the LOC (see Stephenson article in Map Collector No. 12). This copy came from the Bancroft Library as a duplicate - perhaps they thought it was a duplicate of the 1857 edition. With brown wood side rollers. Map is without color and mounted on linen.

Best regional map of its area for the period; shows the Black Hills. Karrow lists three states of this map, the earliest dated 1858?, lithographed by J. Bien; the second state, same date, no Bien credit, hand colored, with "Engraving carefully revised" note; the third state, same as the second, except for an engraving credit to N. Peters, Washington, no color, and the date Karrow gives of 1859? Our copy is the third state. Karrow states that it is to accompany an unnamed Senate Ex. Document of the 35th Congress, 1st session, 1857-58. Wheat calls this map "a landmark of the period of 1859." Shows "Gold Field" in Colorado, around Auraria, which may make this one of the earliest maps to show the Colorado gold rush of 1859. The lower part of this map was reprinted in 1859 by J.H. Colton and included in his printing of Redpath's and Hinton's "Hand-Book to Kansas Territory and the Rocky Mountain's Gold Region," see our #4872. See our 1867 later edition of the same map.
