This printing, produced late in 1874 and described by the firm as its most complete edition, is hand-colored and engraved by the Franklin Type Foundry, with relief shown through hachures and spot heights that give the territory's mountain country more visual definition than the atlas's flatter eastern sheets. The sheet maps Washington as a territory rather than a state, fifteen years before its 1889 admission to the Union, drawn a full fifteen years ahead of the Northern Pacific Railroad's completion into Puget Sound that would finally connect the territory to the transcontinental network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond county coloring and rail distances, little is named on the sheet itself, but the territory's geography was already set. The Puget Sound region held the bulk of Washington's early settlement, with towns growing up around its protected harbors long before rail reached the territory. East of the Cascade Range, the land shifted to dry, sparsely settled wheat and range country, a division the map's own light rail coverage in the territory's interior quietly reflects.

This sheet comes from the atlas's rare original printing, colored by county across a territory whose county boundaries were still being drawn as new settlement pushed inland from Puget Sound. Washington remained a federal territory at this date, more than a decade from the statehood it would finally reach in 1889, its economy still overwhelmingly built on timber cut from the dense forests ringing the Sound and shipped out through a handful of small port towns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOlympia anchors the map as the territorial capital, positioned at the Sound's southern tip where the earliest territorial government had settled decades before. Seattle appears as one port town among several, its later dominance still years away and nothing on this map suggesting it would eventually eclipse its rivals. Walla Walla marks the wheat country east of the Cascades, an agricultural district whose character and economy had little in common with the timber towns on the coast.

Little, Brown and Company published the atlas in 1935 with narrative text by Frank J. Taylor, and every one of its forty-eight state pages was illustrated by Ruth Taylor White, trained at the Pratt Institute of Art and the Art Students League.

Apple picking is placed at Yakima, logging figures appear in the forested west, and fishing scenes line the coast. Skiers and hikers are worked into the mountain scenery as well, a reminder that recreation was already part of the state's appeal by the 1930s.

Idaho Territory, only created the year before in 1863, is shown centered loosely on Boise. Utah Territory is anchored by Salt Lake City, the Mormon settlement that had organized much of the region's early infrastructure.

Julius Bien \u0026amp; Co. had built its reputation on chromolithography, and this sheet's wards, parks, and buildings are each washed in their own distinct color rather than left in outline, a level of finish the firm was specifically known for among New York's state atlas publishers.

Its street grid and railroad lines are traced in detail, reflecting Albany's role as a rail junction linking the Hudson Valley to points west. Public parks are marked throughout the city as recreational open space, alongside major civic buildings tied to the city's role as state capital. The Hudson River runs along the map's eastern edge, the waterway that first made Albany a trading post and still anchored its commerce in 1895.

Mitchell Jr. had inherited the family publishing house in 1860 after more than three decades in the school-atlas and wall-map business, and by 1867 the company was among the pioneers of steel-plate engraving for educational maps, a technique that allowed for remarkably fine detail even at the small scale school atlases demanded. Despite its modest size, the map packs in a striking amount of information across the entire American Far West, tracking counties, towns, roads, rivers, and mountain ranges across seven separate states and territories at a moment when several of them, including Idaho and the Arizona and Utah territories, were still in the earliest stages of American settlement and formal organization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCounties and towns are marked in detail across California and the Pacific Northwest territories of Oregon and Washington, while further east the map records the young territories of Idaho, Utah, Nevada, and Arizona, all of which had been carved out of larger unorganized land only in the preceding years. Roads and rivers thread across the entire region, the essential travel and trade routes linking these still-sparsely-settled territories to California's more established population centers. Indian tribal lands are marked directly on the map, a common feature on American atlases of the period reflecting the ongoing process of American settlement across land long inhabited by native peoples.

The map also marks the first attempt at drawing modern county boundaries across the soon-to-be territories of Nevada and Arizona, replacing the simple horizontal county divisions earlier maps had used across Utah and New Mexico, while newly created counties east of the Cascades in Washington and Oregon, including Skamania, Walla Walla, and Wascopen, appear for the first time on a Desilver map.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe map traces John Fremont's and Stephen Kearny's exploration routes alongside the older Spanish or Los Angeles Route, the Oregon Trail, and the Lewis and Clark canoe routes, a layered record of decades of western exploration compressed onto a single sheet.

The gold strike near Cherry Creek that this map records so early on came from a modest 1858 discovery by a party of Georgia prospectors led by Green Russell, followed in 1859 by the far larger rush that became known as the Pike's Peak Gold Rush, drawing thousands of \"Fifty-Niners\" to towns including the newly founded Denver and Boulder even though the actual gold lay some eighty-five miles north of Pike's Peak itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis map is a compelling gift for a Colorado, California, or Southwestern family with roots in the gold rush and territorial settlement era, someone drawn to Denver and Boulder's founding years specifically, or a collector interested in the rapid county-by-county reorganization of the American West between 1850 and 1861.

The sheet appeared in Mitchell's New General Atlas, successor to an earlier Tanner-derived work the firm inherited, and its steel engraving carries the crisp, even hand coloring that became the Mitchell house's trademark across thousands of copies sold annually.

The sheet notes only a handful of organized counties east of the Cascades, among them Walla Walla, which by 1860 had emerged as the territory's principal inland trading post for miners and wagon travelers heading toward the interior.

The firm's steel-plate engraving and even hand coloring gave its territorial maps a crisp, reliable look that helped the atlas sell hundreds of thousands of copies a year through the 1860s. This particular printing is an unusual transitional state: Oregon appears within its final statehood borders, Washington Territory still runs east to the Rocky Mountains, and Idaho Territory, only months old, is drawn in an early, compact configuration reaching north just to the Salmon River gold country rather than to the 49th parallel it would later claim, a boundary arrangement that likely existed for only a few months at the end of 1863.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePortland remains Oregon's dominant river port on the Willamette, while Olympia, seated on Puget Sound, continues as Washington Territory's capital.

Further east, the sheet marks a second cluster of gold regions in the Bitterroot Mountains, ground that would soon be organized as western Montana. Early wagon roads, forts, and Indian land boundaries trace the routes prospectors and settlers used to reach these scattered mining districts, while the map's compact Idaho boundary is itself a record of how quickly Congress kept redrawing the territorial map through the gold rush years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition suits a family with Pacific Northwest or Rocky Mountain mining-era roots, or a collector building a set of the region's rapidly shifting Civil War-era territorial boundaries.

DeSilver's engraving is dense and precise, packing an enormous stretch of the American West, from the Pacific coast to the Rocky Mountains, onto a single hand-colored sheet without sacrificing legibility. The map documents a genuinely pivotal year: it records the first attempt at modern county boundaries in the soon-to-be territories of Nevada and Arizona, replacing the crude horizontal county strips of earlier editions, and it flags the still-informal discovery of gold on the South Platte River near Cherry Creek, a find that would trigger the Pike's Peak Gold Rush within another year and lead directly to the creation of Colorado Territory in 1861.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSan Francisco anchors California as its dominant Gold Rush-era port, while the map traces the Spanish or Los Angeles Route, the Oregon Trail, and the Lewis and Clark canoe routes connecting it to the wider territories.

Colton had built his business from the 1830s onward on high-quality steel engraving and decorative bordering, qualities on display in both plans here, which together represent two of the earliest town plans of southern cities to appear in a commercial atlas. The pairing captures Savannah and Charleston at the close of the Civil War, when both cities, longtime rivals as the Southeast's leading Atlantic ports, were reckoning with occupation and the collapse of the plantation economy that had built their prewar wealth. Publishing both plans on one sheet let Colton offer a single, economical reference to two of the South's most historically significant coastal cities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Savannah plan shows streets, roads, buildings, rail stations and depots, together with a note on the city's 1776 founding and a reference key naming 24 places of interest, giving it unusual documentary depth for a city plan of this scale. The Charleston plan is similarly rich, marking streets, buildings, the Washington Race Course, ponds and a military arsenal, a reminder of the city's status as a garrisoned Confederate stronghold through most of the war. Both cities anchor their respective Low Country coastlines, Savannah on the Savannah River and Charleston on its namesake harbor, geography that made each a natural target for Union naval blockade throughout the conflict.
