Wheat writes several pages about this map, being impressed with its up to date cartography. Williamson's proposed route through the Owyhee to the Idaho mines is shown, as well as much current detail in central Nevada and all of California. The influence of Williamson's 1866 "Map of Parts of California, Nevada, Oregon and Idaho Territory" (both the published and the ms version) is obvious. A wheel shows the "Difference of time between S. Francisco and other important Cities." This may be Louis Nell's first commercial map, before his extensive work for the Wheeler Survey in the 1870's and his Colorado maps of the 1880's. The railroad map shows the Union Pacific completed to Cheyenne and the Central Pacific to the Nevada border. This is both a beautiful map and an excellent depiction of California and Nevada just before the completion of the railroad. Wheat mentions that the towns of the Humboldt valley are sprinkled with names that disappear in a few years with the coming of the railroad. Full color by county. |

4788A |
| Note |
This is a very unusual map for Rand McNally to issue - geological maps were not common in their catalog and this may be the only one they published. It was probably the interest in mining that motivated publication and the inclusion of "Mineralogical References" in the map key. The main source for the geological formations was Hayden's General Geological Map of Colorado that appeared in his 1877 Atlas of Colorado. But Rand McNally's map has much more detail on towns and railroads than Hayden and is a much superior map in that respect. Ellis 82 is the 1880 edition, which was also issued without geological coloring as "Rand McNally & Co.'s New Sectional Map of Colorado." This map is in printed full color, folded into dark blue cloth covers 16.5x10 titled "Rand, McNally & Co's geological and mineralogical maps Of Colorado" in gold. |

Ellis only shows the 1882 issue of this map - Ellis' 1880 dated Thayer map is the last issue of Thayer's 1877 map by Rollandet which is very different from this 1880 Thayer map (see our copy), prior to 1877 Thayer's Colorado map was by Thayer as draftsman and Blanchard as Publisher. This 1880 map must have been issued later in the year, drawn by Bien and based on an earlier version of the the Bien / Roeser GLO map of Colorado published in 1881 (Ellis 88 - see our copy). Actually, it is almost a copy of the GLO map. Outline color by county, folded into teal green cloth covers 15.5x10 with "Thayer's Map Of Colorado. One Dollar." printed on paste down label. |

| Note |
This is the third and last issue of this map, published in early 1880. Later in the year, Thayer changed to his version of the Bien / Roeser GLO map (see our #2810). It was first issued in 1878, with a second edition in 1879. Ellis is not fond of this map ("Too much general hachures to show mountains, very few mountain names, towns not too generously supplied, roads not clearly shown, etc.") We find it a very attractive map, however the high degree of hachuring does somewhat limit its clarity. Map is folded into brown cloth covers 15x9 with purple label reading "Thayer's New Map Of The State Of Colorado. One Dollar." |

This map is similar to the 1880 Map of Nebraska by Herman Smith, also published by the State Journal Company, but the title has been moved to the upper right corner to allow coverage of north eastern Colorado and the Burlington Railroad route to Denver. This map was also issued by the Burlington Railroad in 1886 and 1887 as part of their route promotion (Karrow 12-0574 and 12-0591). Compared to the 1880 map, there is much new development of railroads and the northwestern corner of the state.
