Note
Composite index map of all the Wheeler land classification sheets. The map images are projected in GIS on a conic projection with the central meridian at 111 degrees west - matching the original projection of the Wheeler Survey. The index sheet composite shows all the sheet names and dates, at a lower resolution.

Note
Index composite map of all the Wheeler topographical sheets with the exception of two which are land classification sheets because the topographical sheets for those areas are not in the Rumsey Collection. The map images are projected in GIS on a conic projection with the central meridian at 111 degrees west - matching the original projection of the Wheeler Survey. The index sheet composite shows all the sheet names and dates. The index sheet is at lower resolution.

Map in what came to be known as "plastic shading." The development of halftone lithography made this technique possible. The technique depicts surface features by brush shading rather than the more conventional hachuring. The map is in brown tones with the index maps highlighted in red.

Note
The date is estimated from a similar, smaller map, also printed by Traubel, which is part of a report on the Harbor of Duluth issued in 1876 (see our 3394). A huge area encompassing the Western States and Canada is shaded in pale yellow indicating the "Area Tributary To The Harbor Of Duluth Over 2,000,000 Of Square Miles." This larger map is clearly a separate, unfolded issue on thin paper. It promotes Duluth as the trade center of a vast area of the northwestern U.S. and southwestern Canada ("2,000,000 of Square miles"). It is quite a wonderful map, full of interesting information on climate, mining, railroads, canals, railroads, land grants - all with the unlikely slant of emphasizing Duluth. Karrow lists several related Duluth maps by Traubel (Karrow 7-0191, 7-0193, 7-0198, 7-0793). Full color by state.
