This map was printed only a year after outlaw Jesse James, whose gang had spent over a decade robbing trains and banks across the same Missouri counties shown here, was shot dead in St. Joseph in 1882, closing out one of the state's more notorious chapters.

This copy is the most complete late-1874 printing, electrotyped at the Franklin Type Foundry and bound in quarter leather with gilt-stamped boards. Kansas had earned its \"Bleeding Kansas\" reputation in the 1850s as pro- and anti-slavery settlers fought for control of the territory before the Civil War even began, and by 1874 the state's postwar identity was shifting again — its western plains becoming the setting for the cattle-drive boom, with railheads like Abilene and, soon, Dodge City turning Kansas into the destination for Texas longhorns driven north along the Chisholm Trail, Nebraska bordering the map to the north and the Indian Territory to the south.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe map's dense township grid reflects the rapid survey of Kansas farmland under the Homestead Act, while the newly chartered Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway was only just beginning to push its line west across the state — a quieter, farm-and-rail story running alongside the cattle-town boom, and one that would soon turn Kansas into a wheat state rather than a cattle one. The map's publication also fell in the same year Rocky Mountain locust swarms devastated Kansas crops, a hardship the tidy township lines give no hint of.

This sheet is hand-colored with township boundaries picked out in red and a letter-and-number reference grid along its borders, a level of finish typical of the atlas's rare original printing.

An inset map of North America situates the two new territories within the wider continent.

The plate appeared in Desilver's atlas at a point when the firm's border style had recently shifted from the plain \"rope border\" used by its predecessor, Thomas Cowperthwait, to a more decorative uncolored style reminiscent of J.H. Colton's contemporary work, one of the details cartobibliographers use to date individual states of the plate.

Santa Fe governs New Mexico Territory far to the southwest, connected to the eastern settlements by the long-established trade route bearing its name. The map is unusually rich in immigrant and Indian information for a commercial atlas sheet of this date, marking early forts, roads, Indian treaty boundaries and explorers' routes across the plains, and it even carries its own distinct symbol for trading posts, a detail rarely found on maps of the period. Indian battlegrounds and reservations are recorded throughout the Indian Territory to the south, giving the sheet real documentary value beyond its role as a simple reference map.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis map makes a fitting gift for a Nebraska, Kansas or New Mexico family with roots in the territorial period, or for a collector drawn to the rare distinction of being the first American atlas map devoted to the trans-Mississippi West.

Ward published this map of Nebraska, Dakota, Montana, and Kansas in New York in 1864, part of the Johnson's New Illustrated Family Atlas the pair issued together for two years before Ward left the firm in 1865. Johnson had built his business by acquiring J.H. Colton's copyrighted plates and converting them from steel engraving to lithography, a shift that let his firm print maps faster and cheaper than most competitors, and by 1864 the atlas carried a distinctive \"fretwork\" border style the firm used from 1863 to 1869. This sheet is a rare pre-Wyoming view, predating that territory's 1868 creation and instead showing Dakota Territory's southern boundary stretched to absorb the land that would soon become Wyoming, a configuration only a handful of Johnson \u0026amp; Ward printings preserve. Issued the same year Montana Territory was carved out of Idaho, the map captures the Civil War-era West at its most fluid, when the Pacific Railroad's promise was redrawing territorial boundaries almost as fast as engravers could record them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMontana Territory appears here in the very year of its creation, its boundary reaching to the Bitterroot Range of the Rockies in a configuration federal surveyors would adjust within a few years.

The Black firm built its reputation on large reference works rather than single-sheet maps, and this print reflects that scale, compressing eight separate American states and territories into one composite view for British readers following American westward expansion from overseas. Published the same year the transcontinental railroad was completed at Promontory Summit, the map catches the American West at the exact moment its scattered territories were first linked by rail rather than wagon road, a transition the sheet documents through its extensive marking of towns, forts, and both existing and proposed railroad lines.

Topeka, Kansas's capital, and Salt Lake City, Utah Territory's Mormon-settled capital, each anchor their own territory's most organized county network, while Portland and Seattle mark the Pacific Northwest's two competing rail and shipping ports in Oregon and Washington Territory respectively.
