Towns or settlements of Silver City, American Flat, Gold Hill Town, Virginia City, and Flowery Ridge. Includes small vignettes of buildings, structures, and mountain peaks. Relief shown pictorially. The Comstock Lode, a huge vein of silver discovered in 1857 under Nevada’s Mount Davidson, was the greatest precious-metal discovery since gold was found in California in 1848. Sutro Tunnel, conceived by German engineer Adolph Sutro (1830-98) as a means of draining off the huge quantities of water infiltrating the ever-deeper shafts. Constructed under Sutro’s leadership between 1869 and 1878, the tunnel extended several miles from Mount Davidson to its exit on a piece of land granted to Sutro in the vicinity of Dayton.

Includes a unique birdseye view of Virginia City, Nevada. This map derives from H. H. Bancroft's 1867 Map of the Pacific States (see our 2549.000) but now focuses on just California and Nevada and the extensive and growing mining activity and transportation networks in those states. It is an entirely new engraving from the earlier map series and uses color lithography. With an inset map, Railway Map of the Pacific States.

Wheat calls this "rare but otherwise unimportant," due to some misspellings and inaccuracies in the map. Streeter sale illustrates the map and the price realized was the same as the Eddy map of 1853. I find the Wheat inaccuracies minor, with most of them being misspellings. The overall map is impressive. It would be interesting to find the map or maps that were used as sources.

Very scarce detailed map of the early Nevada Territory. Wheat: "DeGroot's 'Nevada' of 1863 is truly an impressive performance...cartographical pioneering of the first order." Wheat believed that the map may have actually been published in 1862 (the date of its copyright) but dated 1863 to be up to date, because it shows the eastern boundary of Nevada at the 116th meridian instead of the 115th which was made the boundary in July of 1862. Much is shown in Nevada, but also in western California, Southern Oregon (the Owyhee is "unexplored") and a small corner of Washington Territory (now Idaho). According to Wheat, DeGroot had extensive first hand knowledge of the entire area and the map displays this with great clarity. What is unusual about this map is its sense of accuracy - it looks like nothing has been put in that the author was not sure of - much like Arrowsmith's maps of the early 1800's. W.H. has the Howell copy with DeGroot's printed Guide to the map mentioned by Wheat and Wagner Camp; probably the only copy of the map existing with the guide, and the only copy of the guide. Map is in full color by county.

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.
