Author
Warren, Gouverneur Kemble, 1830-1882
Note
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.

Note
This is one of the earliest Rand McNally maps that we have seen. The date of 1873 is determined from the only date on the map, in the inset map of Cincinnati. Uncolored sectional map with 8 insets: New mining map of Utah, St. Louis, Railroads around Baltimore and Washington, Philadelphia, New York and vicinity, Chicago, Railroad around Cincinnati, 1872-3, Denver. Showing boundaries of township, counties, states and territories, and detail diagram of township numbering system. Includes references, illustrations and advertisements. Relief shown by hachures. Prime meridian is Greenwich.

Author
[Raynolds,W.F., Maynadier, H.E., Gillespie,G.]
Note
Map in 2 sheets; western sheet dated 1877. Highly detailed map, filling in much new information on the original map by Raynolds made in 1859-60 (but published in 1867). This map extends one degree further south than the original map, and for some reason the western sheet does not have the mountains drawn in although the water courses are clearly shown. Unfolded, separately issued on thin paper. Relief shown by hachures.
Author
U.S. General Land Office
Note
This is the colored edition of same map that appears in the 1876 Annual Report of the General Land Office (see our #4591). The GLO issued colored versions of the eighteen 1876 Annual Report maps in the very scarce "Geographical and Political Atlas of the States and Territories of the United States...," where, we presume, they were folded. This copy is not folded and thus was probably issued as a separate, not noted by Kelsay in her Dakota list. Compared to the black and white issue, this colored version is far more readable, especially regarding the Indian Reservations, the Military Reservations, and the railroad grants. Relief shown by hachures.
Author
Rand McNally and Company
Note
A later issue of a map first published in 1882 (see our #3966). This copy was "printed expressly for" a Mr. Gates, although our other copy was printed for a railroad. We suspect that Rand McNally printed many "special" issues for companies and individuals who needed a map as part of their advertising. Printed in full color by county. Relief shown by hachures. Prime meridian is Washington, D.C.

Note
Separately published map of the Territory that did not appear in any Rand McNally atlases of the period. A note at the bottom says "All information relating to Dakota method of obtaining Farms under the Homestead, Pre-emption or Tree Claim Laws, and full particulars touching Public or Government Lands lying adjacent to the Company's Line, etc., together with a copy of the Map, will be promptly furnished by addressing W. E. Powell, General Immigrant Agent, C., M. & St. P. R'y, Milwaukee, Wis." See the Rand McNally Indexed County and Township Map of Dakota of 1882 for a slightly different version of this map. Printed in full color by county.
