U.S. War Department, Topographical Engineers
Note
This was the best general map of the American West published by the Topographical Engineers until the Emory and Warren maps of 1857. Wheat calls it "beautiful... a synthesis of the many and varied cartographic activities of the U.S. Army carried on in the West since the onset of the Mexican War, with numerous individual maps subjected to correction and enhanced by new data." A large and imposing production, the map shows the new political divisions of California, Utah and New Mexico and is engraved in the best style by the well known Sherman and Smith firm of New York. Map is without color.

Mapline 28 gives an excellent history of this map and the Bowens' role in making it. It was probably the most detailed map of the Mississippi in the 1860's. Full color.
