Raynolds, William F.
Note
Date is estimated. With the note "Rec. in Mil. Div. Missouri Engineer Office. Official W.E. Merrill Maj Engn. & Brt. Col." And the date 1869 added in ink, different color. The map has been extensively updated in the headwaters region of the Yellowstone by hand, also adds several Indian Reservations and Indian areas of settlement along with the names of states and territories, all in manuscript. Folds into cover with the label "Montana Dakota" but the bottom of the label is missing. We suspect that it is similar to our Map of Kansas and Texas (2320.000) which also has Merrill's signature and on the lower part of the front label says " All Person Into Whose Hands The Map Falls Are Particularly Requested To Send All Corrections And Additions To The Chief Engineer, Mil. Div. Of The Mo., St. Louis." The person who updated this map probably deposited it with Merrill. This map uses the Raynold's Map of 1860 (but published in 1867) as the base.

Author
Rice, G. Jay
Note
Early Dakota territory map. cf Karrow 11-0559; Wheat 1236 (1872 ed.). This is a later edition of a very scarce map. The first edition appears to be 1872 and is mentioned by Wheat as "perhaps the first major commercial map of that area." This edition says entered in 1875. It features very good detail on the Black Hills, railroad routes and surveys, and the ever expanding counties, towns and township and range surveys (all progressed much further than the description of the 1872 edition by Wheat). The owner of this copy, Mr. C.W. Irish (signed Flandreau, Dakota Terr, Feb 4th, 1879), has added in ms a wonderful assortment of lines indicating rainfall amounts in summer, winter, and for the year. Karrow lists editions of 1872, 1874, 1875, and 1879. He also lists an 1878 "Rice's Township Map of Dakota and the Black Hills." Map is full color by county and folded into dark brown cloth covers 14.5x9.5 stamped with "Rice's Sectional Map Of Dakota" in gold.
Author
Page, H.R. & Co.
Note
1st edition, copyrighted 1880. In small print in the lower right corner is the name A. Loehnes, who we presume is the person who drew the map. A 7 page index of Dakota is included, with a catalogue of Page's maps. Many of Page's western and midwestern state maps appeared in county atlases published by Page in the mid 1880's (see our copies). Full color map by county, folded into lavender card board covers 15.5x9 with "Indexed Map Of Dakota. H.R. Page & Co., Chicago. Price 25 Cents." printed in black.

Blanchard, Rufus
Note
The Handbook contains the usual information for potential settlers. The map is primarily of Minnesota although a small portion of eastern Dakota is shown. Perhaps the most interesting part of this little piece is the last page of text titled "Map Making," which includes the following observations: "The manufacture of maps in Chicago is stimulated by their great demand from the growing country around. Here local pride and public spirit constantly call for new maps to show varied and accumulating improvements which are rapidly progressing. These are readily bought to displace the old ones, which, owing to the rapid development of the country, are sometimes obsolete before they are soiled by office dust. Constant vigilance is required to keep pace with the cropping out of new towns and railroads where the Anglo-Saxon sets his foot, which seem to spring up as if from spores left in his tracks." Map is full color. The book is bound into stamped dark brown cloth covers 15.5x11 with "Hand Book Of Minnesota With a Map" stamped in gilt.

Colton, G.W. & C.B. & Co.
Note
Identical to the 1886 Colton General Atlas map, but dated 1886 on the map. Unusual burgundy cloth covers 14.5x9.5 with "Compliments Of Aug. T. Post. Banker 25 Nassau St. New York. Colton's Map Of Dakota" in gilt. These may have been special covers used by Colton for commercial customers who gave the maps to their clients. Full color by county. See also our #3426. Prime meridians are Greenwich and Washington D.C.

Note
Forty page description of mineral resources and appendix. Very well done map, large scale, without color, and folded into dark burgandy card board covers 19x11 with "Rocks, Minerals, And Other Resources Of The Golden Black Hills Of South Dakota And Wyoming" printed in silver.
Author
Peterson, E. Frank
Note
Map is folded into tan card board covers 15.5x8 with "Map Of South Dakota. Presented By Riley's Land Agency, F.J. Riley, Mgr. Dolan, South Dakota." Printed outline color by county. With advertisements for Riley's Land Agency and many "selling" statistics for the state on the front and back of the map. A classic example of a land promotion map.

Note
An important early guide to the Colorado Gold Region, with three Colton maps on two sheets: "Kansas and Nebraska...1859," which is taken from the 1858 General Atlas, minus the upper half of Nebraska - shows eastern Kansas and Nebraska; "Nebraska and Kanzas, Showing Pikes Peak And The Gold Region...1859," which is the lower half of the 1857 General Atlas map of the same title (without the reference to the Gold Region); and "Military Map of Parts of Kansas, Nebraska and Dakota by Lieut. G.K. Warren Top. Engrs. from the Explorations made by him in 1855, 56 & 57... J.H. Colton... New York," which is derived from the lower half of Warren's 1858/1859 "Military Map of Nebraska and Dakota" (see our #2932). The "Nebraska and Kanzas, Showing Pikes Peak..." map appeared as the only map in J.W. Reed's 1859 "Map of and Guide to the Kansas Gold Region (WC343a), also published by J.H. Colton. Bound in brown linen 15x10, with "Guide to Kansas, The Pike's Peak Gold Region &c. &c. J.H. Colton New York" in gold on the cover. Prime meridians are Washington D.C. and Greenwich.
