 Example of the 17 by 25 inch larger map.

A. J. Johnson, c.1864, Iowa and Nebraska. Fully colored, was originally published in two different sizes depending on the edition it came in.   (1) about 12 1/4 by 16 1/2 inches and (2) about 17 by 25 inches.  We usually have both in stock.   Detailed map of both the states of Iowa and Nebraska. Shows counties, landforms, cities, towns, stage and rails. Handsome map with decorative border. Different editions of the identical map may have a slightly different decorative border.   The earlier editions may also include vignettes around the map.  Hand colored lithograph.   $125 

Example of the 12 1/4 by 16 1/2 inch smaller map.

    Samuel Augustus Mitchell, c.1860, Iowa and Missouri. Colored, about 11 1/2 by 14 inches.  Detailed county map showing landforms, cities, towns, rails including several plans of unfinished rails lines. Also shows "Indian Territory" below Kansas on the left.    Mitchell's maps are some of the more attractive maps from this period, this map is enhanced with a decorative "garland" of flowers which provides a handsome border, making this an especially attractive map.  Different editions of the identical map may have a slightly different decorative border to the one pictured.   Hand colored lithograph.    $115

 George Cram, c.1884-1899, Iowa.  The map shown is in printed color, each county separately colored.   It measures about 9 3/4 by 12 1/4 inches and is a detailed county map depicting landforms, counties, rail road lines, cities and towns.  Maps such as these came from the first widely used atlases published for family use in America.  Different editions are slightly differently colored. Later editions are in full color.  $25

Rand McNally, c. 1895-1911, Iowa. Printed color, about 12 1/2 by 9 1/4 inches. A detailed map depicting landforms, counties, rail road lines, cities and towns.   No road system is shown as yet.  The extensive rail system evidences its importance.   Also includes a table on the left and right of the map of land area, counties and chief cities. The technology used to develop this map was so advanced as to make all other similar maps obsolete.   $25

(Because the size of the scanner is slightly smaller than the map, some of the border does not appear in the photograph)

Matthew Northrup's Century Atlas, c. 1900, Iowa. Printed color, about 10 1/2 by 15 inches. A very fine "modern" looking map with a "piano key" border. The map depicts landforms, including contours showing elevations above sea level. Includes counties, rail lines, roads, cities and towns. This map is the choice of collectors.  $45
