The Only Pre-World War I Texas County Atlas This is a rare folio atlas that documents the land ownership, town layouts, and administrative boundaries of Grayson County at the beginning of the twentieth century. Compiled during a period of growing regional development and civic organization, the volume combines full-color cadastral maps, voter precinct boundaries, business advertisements, and local biographical information into a single reference work designed for use by county officials, landowners, and real estate interests. The atlas includes a large folding map of Texas, attractively color-coded by county and bordered with engraved portraits of Texas governors and an illustration of the State Capitol. It also includes maps of the United States and the world, offering broader geographic context. The atlas sheets comprise a map of Grayson County showing its division into thirty-seven voting precincts. Each subsequent map sheet depicts a specific town or precinct in greater detail, with color washes used to differentiate blocks and land parcels. Landowners are identified by name, and features such as streets, rail lines, and public buildings are carefully delineated. In addition to the maps, the volume contains a biographical section with portraits of local figures, a brief history of the state of Texas, and an alphabetical listing of land surveys and original grantees. Advertisements from local banks, attorneys, merchants, seed companies, and undertakers appear throughout, reflecting both the commercial networks active in Grayson County and the financial support that enabled the atlas s publication. This work holds particular historical significance as the only pre World War I county atlas known to have been produced for any part of Texas. While such plat books were common in the Upper Midwest and Plains states during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this is the only such atlas for Texas. As a result, this volume provides a unique visual and documentary record of Texas land ownership and civic geography in the early twentieth century. Its combination of cadastral maps, local directories, advertisements, and portraits makes it an important resource for the study of North Texas land tenure, rural development, and community life during this period. Rarity We note a single example offered for sale in the past 50 years (Swann 1992) and an incomplete example currently on the market as of 2025. Not in Raines, Jenkins, Graff, or any other standard Texas or Western Americana bibliographies. Book.

Very good. Even toning. Repairs and reinforcements on the verso to marginal tears. Small hole at top-center in the plot marked 'No. 23 Archibald S. White.' Handwritten annotations in pencil provide updated or corrected information on property ownership. Size 23 x 19.75 Inches. A rare 1880 plat map of Jackson County, Texas, produced by the Texas General Land Office and printed (lithographed) by August Gast. It depicts the county on the eve of an important transformation brought by the railroad. A Closer Look Jackson County is situated midway down the Texas coast, about midway between Houston and Corpus Christi. Much of the county originally consisted of coastal prairies and the rivers and bays seen here provide access to the Gulf of Mexico. By the time this map was produced, Jackson had been in existence for nearly 50 years, having been founded in 1836 (named for Andrew Jackson) as a municipality within Mexican Texas and then as one of the original counties of the independent Republic of Texas. As such, it was an early site of settlement for members of the 'Old Three Hundred' families who purchased parcels of land from Stephen Austin's land grant in the early 1820s. As with the wider region around the old Spanish Presidio La Bahía, Jackson County had originally been home primarily to Karankawa people, who had a difficult relationship with the Spanish before being driven out of the area by settlers in the 1820s - 1850s. During the Texas Revolution, many residents fled and their farms were burned by Santa Anna's troops. Compared to a contemporary map of neighboring Calhoun County recently sold by us (CalhounCounty-texasglo-1879), there are more Anglos and less Tejanos among the landowners of Jackson County. As in Calhoun County, there does appear to have been noticeable but not absolute spatial segregation between the two groups. In this case, Tejanos mostly reside west of the Lavaca River and Anglos to the east. Unsurprisingly, some landowners owned property in both counties. Notable among the landholders indicated here are Texas founding fathers Stephen Austin and Sam Houston, both long deceased by the time this map was published, but their property had presumably been retained by descendants. Though no railroad existed at this time in the county, the International-Great Northern Railroad owned tracts of land in the county. However, it was another company, the New York, Texas and Mexican Railway, that first built a railroad there. In the mid-19th century, Texana emerged as the main town in the county, but the overall population remained small and agrarian, with as much as one-half of the county's population being enslaved, tasked with growing cotton and sugarcane. In the years immediately following this map's publication, the Italian-born railroad entrepreneur Joseph (Guiseppe) Telfener built the New York, Texas and Mexican Railway through Jackson County. The residents of Texana were ambivalent about the project because they thought it would threaten the town's maritime shipping, so a station was built to the west, closer to the Lavaca River. Edna, named for one of Telfener's daughters, quickly outgrew Texana as a result, and was made the county seat in 1883. By 1884, Texana was a virtual ghost town and today only exists as a historical site within Edna. Publication History and Census This map was prepared by the Texas General Land Office and printed by August Gast in 1880. We note it among the holdings of the University of Houston, the Library of Congress, and Texas A and M University, and it has no known history on the market. A later edition was published in 1896 and is similarly scarce. References: OCLC 171015562, 796918326 (1896 edition).

Map
Good. Wear and some uneven toning along fold lines. Size 20.5 x 36 Inches. An impressive, large-scale 1879 map of the border region between Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming illustrating economic growth factors. Though similar in appearance to other geological maps produced by the USGGST, it focuses on 'economic' factors such as coal and arable land. It was produced by Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden and the U.S. Geological and Geographical Survey of the Territories (USGGST), the forerunner to the U.S. Geological Survey. A Closer Look Ranging from the Snake River Plains and the 'Bannack' (now the Fort Hall Shoshone-Bannock) Reservation in the west to the Rattle Snake Mountains and the area around Rawlins in the east, this map takes in the Green River Basin, Bear Lake, Jackson Hole, and the Wind River Shoshone Reservation. Mountains and settlements (with their elevations), waterways, roads, railroads, and more are indicated. Though still quite remote, the development of towns in the region is apparent, especially along roads, rail lines, and waterways. Color shading indicates the nature of the land (arable land, forest, rock, grass, sage) and the location of coal deposits. The U.S. Geological and Geographical Survey of the Territories The U.S. Geological and Geographical Survey of the Territories (also known as the Hayden Survey) was created under the U.S. Department of the Interior in 1870, with Hayden as its director. It operated through 1879. The first year the Survey operated in Wyoming on a budget of $25,000 with twelve assistants and eight teamsters and cooks. The following year (1871), the Survey received $40,000 and employed thirty-two individuals, including artist Thomas Moran and photographer W. H. Jackson. That year they launched from Ogden, Utah (which the Union Pacific Railroad had reached) and spent the summer in what is now Yellowstone National Park. The work conducted by the survey that year played a critical role in convincing the U.S. Senate to create Yellowstone, the first U.S. National Park. The Survey worked in Colorado from 1873 through 1876 because of hostilities between white settlers and Native Americans in Wyoming. The team returned to the Yellowstone in 1877 and 1878. Then, in 1879, the Hayden Survey, along with surveys led by John Wesley Powell (the Colorado River and the Grand Canyon) and Clarence King (Fortieth Parallel Survey), were merged to create the U.S. Geological Survey. Publication History and Census This map was produced by the USGGST, led by Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden. Though dated April 1879, it appeared in the Twelfth Annual Report of the USGGST for the year 1878 (the map is also sometimes dated to 1883 as the 1878 report was not published by the Government Printing Office until 1883). Due to these discrepancies over publication date, as well as cataloging variations in the title and attribution of authorship, and the co-mingling of digital and physical copies, the map appears in eight listings in the OCLC. All told, it is independently cataloged among the holdings of some twelve institutions worldwide, while the entire 1878 Annual Report is somewhat more widely distributed.

A colorful 1878 geological map of the border region between Wyoming, Idaho, and Utah produced by the U.S. Geological and Geographical Survey of the Territories (USGGST). It was one of several such maps to appear in the Twelfth Annual Report of the USGGST, representing the first detailed geological surveys undertaken in this portion of the American West. A Closer Look Coverage extends from the Snake River and Utah and Northern Railroad at left to the Seminoe and Rattle Snake Mountains at right, and north from the Jackson Lake region (including 'Jackson's Hole') south to Bear Lake and environs. The geological era and types of rock are indicated by bright colors, while mountains, rivers, lakes, stagecoach roads, railroads, Indian Reservations, and settlements are noted in detail.

Though surveyed in 1877, the map is usually dated to 1878 as it appeared in the Twelfth Annual Report of the USGGST for the year 1878 (it is also sometimes dated to 1883 as the 1878 report was not published by the Government Printing Office until 1883).

Map
Very good. Slight wear on old fold lines. Size 22 x 17 Inches. A blend of the comic and the practical, this is a 1948 Jolly Lindgren larger format pictorial map of Jackson Hole and Grand Teton, Wyoming. This is one of the rarer of Lindgren's 'Hysterical' map series, which gained popularity against the grim backdrop of first the Great Depression and World War II. A Closer Look The map is loosely centered on the Cathedral Group, with Jackson Lake just north of center. 'Hysterical' vignettes and captions throughout provide humorous commentary on Grand Teton, Jackson Hole, and the vicinity. On the more serious side, Lindgren marks hotels, campsites, ranger stations, shops, mountains, trails, and other key locations. There are several references to hamburgers, including 'Hamburgers (on the hoof) and 'Jackson Hamburgers'. Grand Teton National Park Grand Teton National Park was established in 1929 in northwestern Wyoming. It is renowned for its stunning mountain landscapes and diverse wildlife. The park dates back to efforts by conservationists like John D. Rockefeller Jr., who played a crucial role in expanding the park. Initially, only the Teton Range and some surrounding lakes were protected, but in the 1940s, Rockefeller quietly purchased over 35,000 acres of land in the Jackson Hole Valley and donated it to the federal government. This led to the park's expansion in 1950, two years before this map was made, creating the Grand Teton National Park as it is known today. The park preserves not only the dramatic Teton Range but also the cultural history of Native Americans, early pioneers, and fur trappers who once inhabited the region. Lindgren's 'Hysterical' Maps Between roughly 1930 and 1950, Hjalmer 'Jolly' Lindgren (1895 - September 1952) and his brother Oscar 'Ott' Lindgren (1893 - 1967) issued a series of 'Hysterical Maps' detailing American national parks and monuments. Jolly was the artist while his brother, Oscar, ran the business. Jolly imagined the maps as comic relief, as well as a reminder of the world's most beautiful places during both the Great Depression and the subsequent World War II (1939 - 1945) Era. He wrote, 'What this country needs now is something to put a smile on people's faces.' The maps are graphically interesting and intended, as the titles suggest, to amuse. The brothers focused on producing maps of popular tourist attractions, and the great national parks of the West were an obvious choice. They produced maps of Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, Glacier, Zion, Bryce Canyon, and others through the early 1940s. Some were also issued as postcards. Today, Lindgren's larger maps are highly desirable, and many are extremely rare. There is no complete census of Lindgren's full corpus. Publication History and Census This map was created by Jolly Lindgren and first published by Lindgren Brothers in 1948. Lindgren made multiple maps of Jackson Hole, and while some of the humor persists throughout the series, each is unique, reflecting the regional developments between 1935 and 1950. The first map appeared in 1935, with a red-bordered variation following in 1936. In 1947, a new map was issued, extending coverage. In 1948, this map, another new production, was issued.
