Description

Early Road Travel

Rare early road map of the United States, published by the American Automobile Association.

First copyrighted in about 1912, this was among the earliest printed maps to show an auto route across the nation.

This map would seem to be a part of the first generation of AAA maps of the complete United States, which was published up to 1918.  Beginning in 1919, the format seems to have changed, with red colored routes added for the principal route and icons given to the names of the major highways, decorating the map.

Rarity

This early edition of the map is a apparently very rare. OCLC locates only 1 copy (Bancroft Library).

Condition Description
Minor dampstaining.

Map Illustrating the General Geological Features of the Country West of the Mississippi River . . .

This geological map, prepared by James Hall and J.P. Lesley, was created to accompany Report on the United States and Mexican Boundary Survey, Made Under the Direction of the Secretary of the Interior, by William H. Emory (1857–1859). It stands as one of the classic maps of Texas and Western history, offering a foundational geological survey of the trans-Mississippi West. Compiled from data gathered during Emory’s boundary survey—conducted to finalize the border following the Gadsden Purchase of 1853—the map represents a significant milestone in American geological and geographical studies.
