This sheet covers New Mexico, then still nineteen years from statehood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew Mexico's counties are marked in red outline, and hachures are used to render the relief of the territory's mountain ranges.

Drawn at a scale of 1:2,000,000, the map references both the Greenwich and Washington prime meridians, matching the format used throughout the rest of the atlas, and offers a detailed look at New Mexico as it stood roughly two decades before it entered the Union in 1912.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis print is well suited to a New Mexico family with roots that predate statehood, someone who's since moved away from the territory-turned-state, or a collector working through Cram's full 1893 series.

New Mexico Territory extends south and west, centered on Santa Fe, the old Spanish colonial capital that by 1865 had passed through Mexican and then American rule. The Indian Territory, present-day Oklahoma, is shown separately, its Indian reservations marked in detail and Tahlequah, seat of the Cherokee Nation, recorded among its settlements.

The map balances newly settled political facts against persistent geographic misconceptions of the era, showing California, granted statehood only three years earlier in 1850, with a developing county structure even as its interior hydrology remained unsettled, its cartographers still drawing a vast, mistaken \"Tule Lake\" across much of the San Joaquin Valley while Lake Tahoe goes entirely unmarked.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUtah Territory sweeps unbroken from California's eastern border all the way to the Rocky Mountains, its handful of counties clustered tightly around the Great Salt Lake where Mormon settlement had concentrated since 1847.

Kearny are all carefully traced across the plains and deserts, the essential overland routes that had carried settlers west through the preceding decade.

Burdett, compiled by chief draughtsman C. Roeser and printed in New York by lithographer Julius Bien. It appeared as one of nineteen color maps in the Land Office's Geographical and Political Atlas of the States and Territories, a twenty-sheet government survey produced to track the advance of the Public Land Survey System across the West. Bien's shop rendered the territory in a restrained government-house palette, using hachure shading to pick out the mountainous terrain rather than the decorative flourishes common to commercial atlases of the day. In 1876, New Mexico remained a territory rather than a state - it would not gain statehood until 1912 - and this sheet reflects the federal government's central concern of the period: subdividing land into townships ahead of settlers, railroads, and the mining interests moving in behind the Santa Fe Trail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSanta Fe, the territorial capital, anchors the map's northern counties alongside Taos, whose county seat had already spent more than two centuries as a trading crossroads between Puebloan communities and Spanish, then Anglo-American, settlers. Valencia County stretches along the Rio Grande through the territory's agricultural heartland, while Dona Ana County, on the southern border, marks the district anchored by the older settlement of Mesilla and the newer railroad town taking shape at Las Cruces. The Rio Grande itself threads the length of the sheet, the single geographic feature that determined where New Mexico's towns, irrigation ditches, and land grants could take root.

Lloyd published this double-page map of Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Kansas, Colorado, and Indian Territory in Chicago around 1870, centering the sheet on the Rocky Mountains at a moment when Lloyd was assembling material for an ambitious atlas of the United States he would, in the end, never complete. Portions of his work were instead absorbed into the Warner \u0026amp; Beers atlases published through the early 1870s, making this separately issued sheet a somewhat rarer survival of Lloyd's own independent cartographic output. The map crowds in an unusually dense layer of detail for its format: counties, towns, railroads, mountains, rivers, explorer routes, the U.S. Mail Route, and Indian lands are all traced across a six-territory span of the Transmississippi West. Published as the transcontinental railroad network was still actively expanding into the Rocky Mountain region, the map captures a genuinely fluid moment when territorial boundaries, rail lines, and Indian land designations were all being redrawn within the same few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSalt Lake City anchors the Utah Territory portion of the map as the dominant settlement of the Mormon-settled Great Basin, while Prescott, then the capital of Arizona Territory, and Santa Fe, the historic seat of New Mexico Territory, mark two Southwestern territories still governed from towns with Spanish colonial roots stretching back centuries before American annexation. Topeka anchors Kansas at the map's eastern edge, already an organized state by this date, while Denver marks Colorado Territory's rapidly growing mining and rail hub in the years just before it too would achieve statehood in 1876. The U.S. Mail Route and a web of explorer trails thread across all six territories, tracing the transportation lines that, in the early 1870s, were the only real connective tissue across an otherwise vast and thinly settled span of mountain and plains country.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's a strong pick for a family with roots anywhere across the Rocky Mountain Southwest, or for a collector of H.H.

Desilver's work stands out among mid-century American atlas maps for the density of its overprinted detail: emigrant trails, army forts, Indian treaty lines, battle grounds, and a dedicated trading-post symbol rarely used on a commercial map of the period, laid across a region atlases had barely begun to chart. The sheet spans Nebraska and Kansas Territories west to the Rocky Mountains and south into New Mexico and Indian Territory, catching the plains just as gold discovered west of Kansas in July 1858 was pulling the first wave of prospectors toward what would, within three years, become Colorado Territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKansas Territory's settlements were still clustered along the Missouri River near Topeka, soon to be chosen as the free-state capital, while its western reaches beyond the hundredth meridian remained largely unmapped grassland.

To the southwest, Santa Fe anchored New Mexico Territory as the oldest continuously governed seat of power in the region, a Spanish colonial capital that predated any Anglo-American settlement nearby. Indian Territory, governed from the Cherokee capital of Tahlequah, filled the map's southeastern corner as land set aside for the relocated Five Civilized Tribes, its boundaries drawn without the county subdivision applied elsewhere on the sheet.

Like its companion, it's supplied unframed and available across the same full range of nine sizes, from a compact accent piece to a large-format statement print.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TheMapVault","offers":[{"title":"16x20 inch - UNFRAMED","offer_id":58587888124235,"sku":"SKU2149-16x20","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"A2 (42x60cm) - UNFRAMED","offer_id":58587888157003,"sku":"SKU2149-A2","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"18x24 inch - UNFRAMED","offer_id":58587888189771,"sku":"SKU2149-18x24","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"50x70 cm - UNFRAMED","offer_id":58587888222539,"sku":"SKU2149-50x70","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"A1 (60x84cm) - UNFRAMED","offer_id":58587888255307,"sku":"SKU2149-A1","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x32 inch - UNFRAMED","offer_id":58587888288075,"sku":"SKU2149-24x32","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"70x100 cm - UNFRAMED","offer_id":58587888320843,"sku":"SKU2149-70x100","price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"75x100 cm - UNFRAMED","offer_id":58587888353611,"sku":"SKU2149-75x100","price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"A0 (84x119cm) - UNFRAMED","offer_id":58587888386379,"sku":"SKU2149-A0","price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/2456\/5323\/files\/SKU2149.jpg?v=1790250171"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.themapvault.com\/en-au\/collections\/new-mexico-maps.oembed","provider":"TheMapVault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
