Look in Western States for other maps of Nevada.

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.

   Samuel Augustus Mitchell, c.1867, Utah & Nevada. Hand colored. about 10 1/2 by 13 1/4 inches. Counties have been established in Minnesota but none in the Dakota Territory. Indian tribes are located. Well detailed showing early settlements, forts, and landforms. Decorative "flower" border. An attractive map.    Mitchell's maps from this series 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.  $175

George Cram, c. 1886-1890, Nevada, Printed color by county, about 13 by 9 inches. Detailed map showing many towns and counties as well as mountains rivers and other topographical features.  Cram's family atlases were very popular with the American family in the late 1800's.  $25

Rand McNally, c. 1900, Nevada. 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 rail system evidences its importance.     Also includes a table (not included in the picture) on the left and right of the map of land area, counties and chief cities.  The technology used in developing the map was so advanced that it immediately made 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, 1897-1911, Nevada and Utah. 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. Also includes an inset of Salt Lake City and the surrounding area.   The picture does not show the map well at all.    $45

( 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
