Map Details: Gorgeous and extremely rare map of Johnson and Ward's rare 1863 map of the territories of Idaho, Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado and Kansas. Extends west as far as the Great Salt Lake and east to Lake Superior. It depicts this area during an interesting transitional phase shortly following the formation of Idaho in 1863 but predating the formation of Montana in 1864. Thus we see a massive Idaho consisting of all of modern day Wyoming, Idaho and Montana. The newly created territory of Colorado (1861) appears in the lower left. Shows the three proposed routes of the Pacific Railroad including the northern route, as suggested by Governor Stevens, the central route proposed by Lieutenant Beckwith, and the southern route as suggested by Captain Gunnison. Crisscrossed throughout with wagon trails, explorer's routes, railroads, and proposed railroads. Also offers superb detail regarding the deportment of area American Indian tribes and settlements. An important phase of the Johnson Mountain States map series. Features the fretwork style border common to Johnson's atlas work from 1863 to 1869. Published by Johnson and Ward as plate no. 55 in the scarce 1863 edition of Johnson's Family Atlas. Please note the detail in that every sub region is individually and meticulously hand colored as originally produced at the factory back then. I can't even imagine how tedious it must have been back then to individually hand color maps all day long. The map shows incredible and detailed geographical information as well. My price is based on the rare condition and scarcity of this map. This map is from my personal collection. I will entertain offers as well.
