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.
