1919 Clason Map of Denver, Colorado

A beautiful example of George Clason's 1919 guidebook and map of Denver, Colorado. This map covers all of Denver from Berkley Lake to Englewood and from Sloans Lake to Aurora. An inset in the lower right quadrant details the Denver Business District. A street index appears to the right of the map. Published for Clason's 1919 Guide to Denver, which is included with this map. A beautiful 1855 first edition example of Colton's map of territories of New Mexico and Utah. This iconic map is one of the rarest and most desirable of all Colton atlas maps. Like most of Colton's state maps, this map was derived from an earlier wall map of North America produced by Colton and D. Griffing Johnson. The map details the regions between California and Texas and between Oregon and Mexico. From the 1861 Johnson and Browning edition of the Johnson's Atlas , this is one of the rarest and most desirable states of the Johnson�s Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas map. In this example Nebraska is drawn with a long panhandle extending from Iowa all the way to Fremont�s Peak. To the north, Dakota is a massive and newly partitioned territory extending from Minnesota to the Rocky Mountains and from Nebraska to the border with British Columbia. A fine example of the scarce 2nd edition of Johnson�s map of the southwestern United States printed in 1861. The map covers from the 42nd parallel south to the Mexico border and from the Pacific to include most of Colorado. In the second edition of this map Johnson made significant changes, adding some territorial borders and eliminating others to accommodate the ephemeral political situation of the period. The scarcest and most historically significant of A. J. Johnson�s southwest series. This is the 1860 first edition of A. J. Johnson and Ross C. Browning�s map of California, Utah, Nevada, New Mexico, and Arizona. The map covers from the 42nd parallel south to the Mexico border and from the Pacific to modern day Colorado. It had been a daring feat of exploration, succeeding where the mountain men had all failed, and by means of his map ... Stansbury had painted at least one more bold stroke into the unfinished portrait of the national landscape. - William Goetzmann This monumental map details Stansbury's seminal 1852 trek from Fort Leavenworth, Kansas to the Great Salt Lake region of Utah. A beautiful example of S. A. Mitchell Junior�s 1866 map of Utah and Nevada. Covers both the state of Nevada and the Territory of Utah.

Identifies a number of important east-west routes including the Overland Mail Route, the Telegraph Route, Beckwith's Route, the Hastings Road and the Emigrant Road to California, the Wagon Road to Owyhee Mines, and others. This is an unusual 1810 map of Mexico and the United States by the French cartographer J. B. Tardieu. Depicts all of Mexico and much of the United States shortly following the acquisition of Louisiana but prior to the acquisition of Florida, Texas and Upper California. This map exhibits a curious ephemeral mapping of the American Southwest based upon the Dominguez-Escalante expedition of 1776 and 1777 and Zebulon Pike's expedition of 1806. An iconic map of the American west and one of the rarest and most desirable of all Colton atlas maps. This is an extraordinary example of the first edition first state of Colton's 1855 map of the territories of New Mexico and Utah. This is one of the rarest and most desirable of all Colton atlas maps. Based on earlier wall map produced by Colton and D. Griffing Johnson, this map details the regions between the California and Texas and between Oregon and Mexico.
