Remarkable large format map of Arizona Territory, the earliest separately issued map of the Territory to appear in a commercial atlas. Arizona Territory appears with only 5 counties, Yavahpi, Yuma, Mojave, Pima and Maricopa. The map illustrates the early railroads, settlements, mining districts, Indian reservations, forts and other important early features in the territory.
Asher & Adams' atlas was one of the first United States atlases to exclusively feature railroad lines, showing minimal topography.
Asher & Adams was a New York publishing firm known for their atlases. Notably, their maps were some of the first to prominently exhibit railroad lines, even if this meant a slight reduction in topographical detail. They specialized especially in state and county maps of the United States.
