About the Item

Rand McNally's antique map of Arizona, from page 333 of the firm's 1899 indexed atlas, shows the Territory of Arizona county by county, statehood not coming until 1912: Mohave and Yuma along the Colorado River in the west, Coconino across the Colorado Plateau in the north, Yavapai, Maricopa and Pinal through the centre, and Graham, Pima and Cochise across the south. The Grand Canyon of the Colorado is traced across Coconino County, though without the place-name detail a dedicated Grand Canyon map would carry, and the Navajo Indian Reservation, with the Moqui, that is Hopi, Indian Reservation nested within it, occupies the entire northeastern quarter. The White Mountain Apache reservation is outlined in the east, and Phoenix, in Maricopa County, sits at the centre of a red railroad network keyed to a legend of some sixteen companies at lower right, including the Arizona and New Mexico, the Maricopa and Phoenix and Salt River Valley, the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix, and the Southern Pacific main line crossing the southern counties through Tucson and Yuma. Mining camps, Tombstone, Bisbee, Globe, Jerome and the United Verde district among them, are named along their spur lines, a fair reflection of how copper and silver mining, rather than agriculture, drove the territory's rail development. Mountain and desert relief is rendered throughout in dense hachured shading, with named peaks, washes and desert plains, the Painted Desert, the Yuma Desert and the country south of Tucson, recorded in considerable detail even where settlements are few. Scale is given as 28 statute miles to the inch, and a note directs the reader to the adjoining Utah, New Mexico, Mexico, California and Nevada maps. Rand McNally, one of the leading map publishers in the United States by the 1890s, revised its maps from issue to issue. This antique map of Arizona is an original 1899 colour lithograph, with a black outline and the colours printed over it, and it is suitable for framing. The colour is printed rather than applied by hand. The sheet is in good condition for its age, with light age toning, a few small spots in the margins and minor wear to the sheet edges. Please review the images for further condition details. This is an original antique map, not a modern reproduction. This item is sold unframed. Any framed or interior images are shown for presentation and inspiration only, unless the listing explicitly states that the item is sold framed.

An antique map of Nevada from page 348 of Rand McNally's 1899 indexed atlas, this sheet shows the state county by county: Washoe, Humboldt, Elko, Lander, Eureka and White Pine across the north, Churchill, Ormsby, Douglas, Esmeralda and Nye through the centre and south, and Lincoln in the far southeast corner bordering Arizona. County lines are picked out in red, and the characteristic basin-and-range topography, dozens of short, roughly parallel mountain ranges separated by broad closed valleys, is rendered throughout in fine hachured relief, with named peaks and passes given in very granular detail. A red-numbered railroad key at lower left lists the lines then serving the state, each identified by its Wells, Fargo and Company express agency: the Carson and Colorado and the Virginia and Truckee, the Eureka and Palisade, the Nevada Central, the Nevada-California-Oregon, and the transcontinental Southern Pacific main line crossing the Humboldt River valley through Winnemucca and Elko. Carson City, the state capital, and the mining towns of Virginia City, Eureka, Austin and Pioche are named along the rail corridors. A cross-reference line at the foot points the atlas user to the adjoining maps of Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Arizona and California, showing how the individual state plates...
