Look in Western States for other maps of New Mexico.

The following three maps by A. J. Johnson published in different editions of his World Atlas show a wonderful progression of the development of the south west.  The maps are similar in color and size, while the State and Territory boundaries reflect the evolution of the period.   The #3 map in the listing is becoming increasingly scarce.

  (1) A. J. Johnson, c. 1864, California and the Territories of  New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada and Utah. Hand colored. About 17 by 24iinches.  Detailed early county (each differently colored) map showing landforms, early settlements and towns, rail and stage routes. Includes a decorative border.   Different editions of the identical map may have a slightly different decorative border to the one pictured.    $325  

(2) A. J. Johnson, c. 1862, California and the Territories of  New Mexico and Utah.  Nevada  is shown as recently split from Utah and both are not yet in there final shape.  Arizona is a subset of New Mexico.  Interestingly, the division between Arizona and New Mexico is horizontal and not vertical as in the present day configuration.  $550

(3) A. J. Johnson, c. 1860 and 1861, California and the Territories of  New Mexico and Utah.  Present day Nevada has not been established and is still a part of Utah Territory, and present day Arizona has not been established and is still a part of New Mexico territory.  $1,100

The above three maps are seldom available, (especially the latter two), so we recommend that you place your name on the waiting list for any of them.

    George Cram, 1884-1899, New Mexico.   The map is in printed color.  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, 1895-1911, New Mexico.   Printed color, about 12 1/2 by 9 1/4 inches. A detailed map depicting landforms, counties, rail road lines, cities and towns. 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

Matthew Northrup's Century Atlas, 1897-1911, Arizona and New Mexico. 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.    The picture does not show the map well at all.   $45

( The dark areas are from the scan.  The map crisp and uniform in color.  The brown line at center of the picture is created from joining two scans)

Dodd Meade and Company, c. 1903, New Mexico. Printed color, about 8 1/4 by 10 1/4 inches. A very "modern" looking map with excellent detail. The map depicts landforms and includes counties, rail lines, cities and towns. $15
