Contact seller4-star seller1st Edition. Very good. Sporadic foxing and other imperfections, especially in the margins. Size 20.75 x 30 Inches. This is an 1868 edition of Charles Hoffmann and James Gardiner's detailed map of Yosemite Valley, California, and its surroundings, considered one of the earliest obtainable maps of that region. This map represents… early government efforts under Frederick Law Olmsted and Josiah Dwight Whitney to map Yosemite as America's first reserved parkland. It offers superb detail, noting El Capitan, Cathedral Peak, Yosemite Fall(s), Half Dome, the Merced and San Joaquin Rivers, Lake Eleanor, a portion of Mono Lake, and much more. Surveying Yosemite The Yosemite Grant passed Congress on June 30, 1864, after which it was promptly signed into law by President Abraham Lincoln. This was the first instance of land being set aside expressly for preservation and public use by the U.S. federal government, which set a precedent for the 1872 creation of Yellowstone. The grant created an urgent need for a survey of the ceded lands before winter set in. Two young graduates from Yale's Scientific School, Clarence King and James Terry Gardiner, were assigned to the task. Through a government effort, Frederick Law Olmsted, famed designer of New York City's Central Park, paid for the King-Gardner survey. As the nation's premier park expert, Olmsted was harnessed by the Lincoln administration to draft a charter and plan for Yosemite. Eager to get some sort of map of the valley, Olmsted used personal finances to complete the survey before winter - with the expectation that the state would later reimburse him (they did). The initial survey was basic and offered only a loose sketch encompassing Yosemite Valley's shape and proportions. Little detail was included of the valley floor, but the cliffs were well mapped with hachure. In 1867, Charles F. Hoffman led a second survey expedition that included King and Gardiner to fully survey the valley floor. Publication History and Census The map was printed in New York by Julius Bien in 1868 for the first edition of Josiah Dwight Whitney's 1869 Geological Survey of California Yosemite Guide-Book . It exists in several states, which can be distinguished according to the inclusion, removal, or renaming of features. For example, 'Milk Ranch' and 'McLane's Pass' are renamed 'Mill Ranch' and 'Mono Pass,' respectively, in later states. This example does include Hite's Cove at the confluence of the Merced River and Devil's Gulch, though in a different location and without an adjoining road included in later states, suggesting that this is an early successor to the first state of the map (Rumsey 4212.019). The various states of this map are well represented in institutional collections (sometimes cataloged as 1867) but scarce to the market. It is closely related to a second map that accompanied the Yosemite Guide-Book by Gardiner and Clarence King (YosemiteValley-gardner-1870). References: OCLC 900664465. Signed by Author(s).
