Josiah Gregg's monumental map of Northern Texas & the Plains, which accompanied his Commerce Of The Prairies, one of the classic accounts of the Transmississippi West and a cornerstone work for studies of the Santa Fe Trail.
Wheat refers to the map as a cartographic landmark and is book as the most important work on the Southwest to date. Gregg was a Santa Fe Trade. Based upon Humboldt's map of New Spain, Long's 1st Expedition and JC Brown's survey's along the Santa Fe Trail, with corrections added by Gregg from observations. Shows nearly a dozen major routes of commerce and exploration during the period. Wheat devotes 2 pages to the description of this map. An essential map for American Map collectors, illustrating an important change in the history of printed maps and the only truly American cartographic publishing innovation.
This is the rare Cerographic Atlas edition of the map, which is uncolored and likely pre-dates the appearances of the map in the Atlas of North America and Commerce of the Prairies.
