A 1942 World War II era Rand McNally map of the United States issued for the Union Pacific Railroad. It notes the locations of military facilities and highlights the contributions of the Union Pacific to the war effort. A Closer Look Black lines trace t…he Union Pacific network and associated lines, marked as either single or double track, while lighter gray lines represent the trackage of other companies. Military bases, airfields, forts, naval bases, and other facilities are indicated with red squares, airplanes, and anchors. Inset maps at the bottom-left and bottom-right illustrate connecting shipping lines across the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Rivers, mountains, cities, national parks, and state borders are also indicated. The verso includes an extensive list of military installations organized alphabetically, a list of Union Pacific offices around the country, and a section describing Union Pacific's contributions to the war effort. American Railroads and World War II During World War I (1914 - 1918), American railroad lines were nationalized and placed under the management of the United States Railroad Administration. This system was unwound after the Great War, scarcely two years after its establishment. Still, in its brief existence, the U.S.R.A. oversaw important investments in rail infrastructure, standardization measures, and regulatory changes. However, the interwar period was difficult for the railroads, especially passenger rail, as competition from automobiles and aviation, along with the Great Depression, hurt ridership. Still, the continued oversight and standardization of the rail network (by the Interstate Commerce Commission) proved to be a boon during World War II (1939 - 1945), obviating the need for another wartime nationalization while allowing for the smooth interaction of various private railroads to support the war effort. Publication History and Census This map was prepared by Rand McNally and Company and issued by the Union Pacific Railroad in 1942. The copyright names C. J. Collins, the company's General Passenger Traffic Manager, also credited in several other contemporanous maps and publications. Union Pacific had issued several editions of its 'Geographically Correct Map of the United States' prepared by Rand McNally in the 1920s and 1930s. The present example is a significantly modified wartime edition, touting the Union Pacific network as 'The Strategic Middle Route.' The present edition is listed in the OCLC among the holdings of the University of California Santa Cruz, the University of Kansas, Missouri State University, and the University of Michigan.

Contact seller4-star seller1st Edition. Very good. Exhibits light wear along original centerfold. Exhibits some foxing. Verso repair to centerfold separation. Blank on verso. Size 17.5 x 24.25 Inches. An exceptional example of A. J. Johnson's highly desirable 1862 Military Map of the United States. Created at the outbreak of the American Civil War, this m…ap was issued by Johnson in order to capitalize on the general interest in the War. This is one the two significant variants. This variant, the earlier of the two, shows the U.S. Military Department as of 1861. It offers a wonderful insight into the political situation shortly following the outbreak of the American Civil War (1861 - 1865). U.S. Military Departments and the American Civil War The military districting system in the United States began around 1800, when the country was divided into 11 separately administered military zones. In the early days of westward expansion, these entities were often the only governmental authority patrolling vast regions. Later, as governing infrastructure developed, military district administration often co-existed with civil governments. The U.S. military districts were always somewhat fluid, changing, consolidating, or breaking apart, as required. On October 31, 1853, the division echelon was eliminated and the departments in the east became The Department of the East, administering all territory east of the Mississippi. The 6 western departments consolidated into 4, the Departments of Texas, New Mexico, the West, and the Pacific. The system returned to 6 departments in 1858 when the Department of Utah was created, and the Department of the Pacific split into the Departments of California and Oregon. This is the system represented on the 1861 and some 1862 editions of Johnson's military district maps. With the outbreak of the American Civil War (1861 - 1865), the once unified Military Department of the East became the theater of America's bloodiest war. The old Military Department system was exploded into smaller districts, often conforming to state-based Union armies. Publication History and Census This map was first introduced in the 1861 Johnson and Browning New York edition of Johnson's New Illustrated Family Atlas . Unlike most or the map's in Johnson's atlas, which were derived from Colton's General Atlas , this map is a unique production issued in the midst of escalating tensions between the northern and southern states. There are two major editions of this map and numerous sub-states and variants. The first major edition, the present example, appeared in 1861 and some 1862 atlases, and featured the military department system in effect form 1858 to 1861 - in which there were several large divisions including a large Department of the East. The military department system was revised into a district system with the outbreak of the American Civil War, which exploded the department of the east into numerous smaller districts roughly corresponding to states - that variant appeared in Johnson atlases from 1862 to early 1865. After 1865, the military map was removed from all subsequent editions of the atlas. In total there are 8 states of the map, including minor variations on the two major editions. The present example is the 2nd state, used for part of 1862.

Size 38.5 x 32.5 Inches. This is a 1942 Royal Hungarian Institute of Military Cartography map of Székely Land (Székelyföld in Hungarian). This region was awarded to Hungary as part… of the Second Vienna Award in August 1940 by Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. A Closer Look Coverage embraces parts of present-day Transylva from just north of Brasov, which appears in the lower right, northwest to Bistri?a (Beszterce), covering parts of Harghita, Covasna, and parts of Mure? counties, Romania. Cities and towns are labeled, with more important cities labeled prominently. Mountains are named with their elevations noted. Inset maps in the upper right illustrate regional roads, railroad networks, and medical centers. Székely Land Székely Land (Székelyföld in Hungarian) is an ethnographic region located in the Eastern Carpathians, today incorporated into the eastern part of Transylvania, Romania. The region was historically the home of the Székelys, a Hungarian sub-ethnicity. Székely Land became part of the Habsburg monarchy at the end of the 17th century and remained part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until after World War I (1914 - 1918). Székely Land (along with the rest of Transylvania and part of eastern Hungary) was made part of Romania in the terms of the 1920 Treaty of Trianon. The Second Vienna Award (a territorial dispute between Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy) returned (read: assigned) all of northern Transylvania, including Székely Land, to Hungary in August 1940. Soviet and Romanian forces occupied Transylvania in 1944, and the region was returned to Romania in 1947 as part of the Paris Peace Treaties.

Contact seller4-star sellerVery good. Some offsetting. Wear on original fold lines. Size 14 x 20 Inches. An important and highly detailed 1801 map of the northeastern United States by Pierre Francis Tardieu. The map was issued to a accompany Michel Guillaume de Crevecoeur's Le Voyage dans la Haute Pennsylvania et dans l'État de New-York , one of the most…important post-Revolutionary War books about life and economy in the fledgling United States. Coverage extends from Maine to the District of Columbia and west as far as Ohio and the Connecticut Reserve, including modern-day New England, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and parts of Maryland, Delaware, and West Virginia. The map is notable for its exceptional detail, naming towns and roads, as well as surveyed military tracts intended to compensate Revolutionary War soldiers for their war effort. Central New York Military Tract The Military Tract of Central New York, also called the New Military Tract, consisted of nearly two million acres (8,100 km2) of bounty land set aside in Central New York to compensate New York's soldiers for their participation in the Revolutionary War. Soldiers were guaranteed 500 acers each from the newly laid down tracks. These lands were carefully surveyed out in the Finger Lakes region of New York - north of Oswego and west of Cooperstown, covering the modern-day counties of Cayuga, Cortland, Onondaga, and Seneca, and parts of Oswego, Tompkins, Schuyler and Wayne. Apparently at the whim of Robert Harpur, a clerk in the office of New York's Surveyor General, the new townships were named after figures from classical antiquity, including Greek and Roman statesmen and the Carthaginian general Hannibal. Connecticut Western Reserve At the far western section of the map, on the shores of Lake Erie, the Connecticut Western Reserve is noted. This section of northeastern Ohio, rarely seen on maps, was ceded to Connecticut by King Charles II in exchange for Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, following the Yankee-Pennamite Wars. Connecticut gave up its claims to the Western Reserve in 1800, when they were sold to the Connecticut Land Company, a group of speculators based in Suffield, Connecticut. Surveyors were sent out, under Moses Cleveland, to divide the reserve into township and found the city of Cleveland, first known as 'New Salem.' Publication History and Census This map was engraved in Paris by Pierre Francis Tardieu for inclusion in Michel Guillaume de Crevecoeur's Le Voyage dans la Haute Pennsylvania et dans l'État de New-York . Despite being his longest and most comprehensive work on the Americas, it never attained the popularity of the 1784 Letters d'un Cultivateur Américain . There were multiple editions of the book, but only one of the map. Today this map is uncommon on the market and its significance often underappreciated. The OCLC identifies 3 examples of the separate maps. References: OCLC. 58915829.

A further table on Sheet XIII provides the political classification and statistical overview of the Crown Land of Hungary. The Franziszeische Landesaufnahme The Franziszeische Landesaufname (Second Military Mapping Survey) was a military land survey of the Austro-Hungarian Empire that took place between 1806 and 1869. It was named after Emperor Francis I (r. 1804 - 1835). The Franziszeische Landesaufnahme was a military mapping project that replaced the Josephinische Landesaufnahme (First Military Mapping Survey). It was the first survey of the Austrian Empire that used triangulation and was conducted on the same scale as the Josephinische Survey. The maps were published for public distribution as 'special maps' at a scale of 1:144,000 and 'general maps' at a scale of 1:288,000. Kingdom of Hungary The Kingdom of Hungary existed from 1526 until 1867. It was part of the lands of the Habsburg monarchy and was a state outside the Holy Roman Empire. It became part of the Austrian Empire after it was established in 1804. Hungary revolted against Habsburg rule in April 1848, part of the Springtime Revolutions. It implemented democratic parliamentary elections with the goal of transforming the old feudal system into a democratic representative parliament. This movement turned into an armed revolution against Habsburg rule. The Hungarians dealt the Austrians a series of defeats and appeared to be close to winning independence. Then, Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph appealed to the Russians for help. In response, Russian Tsar Nicholas 1 sent 200,000 soldiers and helped the Austrians defeat the Hungarians. The Habsburgs retained control over Hungary and quickly implemented martial law. Following the Hungarian Revolution of 1848, Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph took absolute control of Hungary and revoked its constitution. The first cracks in Habsburg rule appeared after France and Sardinia-Piedmont defeated Austria at the Battle of Solferino in 1859. This defeat prompted Franz Joseph to grant concessions to the Hungarians and demonstrated that ruling by decree was no longer entirely viable. Then, the Prussians defeated the Austrians in the Austro-Prussian War in 1866. This defeat rendered the weaknesses of the Habsburgs apparent to all of Europe and brought the monarchy to the negotiating table. This led to the Compromise of 1867 and the creation of the Dual Monarchy of Austria-Hungary, better known as the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Publication History and Census This map was created and published by the Imperial and Royal Geographical Institute (K. K. Militärisch Geographische Institut) in 1858.

Size 30 x 38.75 Inches. This is a 1940 Royal Hungarian Institute of Military Cartography map of Transcarpathia (Kárpátalja), today part of Ukraine known as Zakarpattia Oblast. T…he map was published less than a year after Hungary annexed the independent republic of Carpatho-Ukraine (discussed below). A Closer Look The map depicts the region from Kisvárda to Kjernyicsnij and from Poland to Romania. Towns in Transcarpathia are labeled first in Hungarian, then in Ruthenian in parentheses, and then, possibly, in brackets according to the 1913 Hungarian locality directory. Mountains with elevations are identified throughout. Thick red lines mark the international borders between Transcarpathia and Slovakia, Poland, Romania, and Ukraine. Insets in the upper right illustrate administrative divisions, forests and climate, and roads and railroads between Transcarpathia and Budapest, the capital of Hungary. A key is also included and describes the notations used on the map in Hungarian, Russian, German, Italian, and French. Incredibly, symbols mark tourism offices, suggesting that in 1940 tourists were visiting Transcarpathia even though World War II (1939 - 1945) was raging to the west and north. A Short Modern History of Transcarpathia Transcarpathia (Kárpátalja in Hungarian) is a region in modern-day eastern Ukraine that borders Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, and a small part of Poland. As a region, Transcarpathia differs from the rest of Ukraine in many respects due to its separate history. Transcarpathia was part of Hungary for over 1,000 years. It was ceded to newly-created Czechoslovakia as part of the 1920 Treaty of Trianon. Under the treaty, Transcarpathia was guaranteed some autonomy, but the government in Prague never granted it. In 1938, after the disastrous Munich Agreement, the southern portion of Transcarpathia was awarded to Hungary as part of the First Vienna Award. The rest of Transcarpathia became an autonomous region of the Second Czechoslovak Republic, which existed for only 169 days. Slovakia declared independence from the Second Czechoslovak Republic on March 14, 1939. Carpatho-Ukraine declared itself an independent republic the following day, March 15, 1939, and is known as the 'one-day republic' because it didn't exist for more than one day. Hungary annexed and invaded Carpatho-Ukraine on March 15, and by March 18, all resistance had been crushed. The Red Army occupied Transcarpathia in October 1944. Czechoslovak President Edvard Bene signed an agreement to cede the region to the Soviet Union on June 29, 1945, and Transcarpathia was made part of the Ukrainian SSR in July. Transcarpathia remained under Hungarian control throughout World War II. Tens of thousands were killed, and even more fled to the Soviet Union. Some joined the Czechoslovak Army. After Nazi Germany invaded and occupied Hungary in March 1944, the region's Jewish population was almost entirely deported and very few survived the Holocaust. Publication History and Census This map was created and published by the Royal Hungarian Institute of Military Cartography ( Magyar Királyi Honvéd Térképészeti Intézet ) in 1940. We note a single cataloged example in OCLC, which is part of the collection at the Bibliothèque nationale de France. This piece is scarce on the private market. References: OCLC 494965334.

Information concerning historic flights is included: the first Transatlantic flight, Amelia Earhart's first solo flight across the Pacific, and the first aerial circumnavigation. Other wartime information is overlaid, such as the location of the 15 U.S. Air Force Commands, General Chennault's Flying Tigers in Southeast Asia, and the now famous Doolittle Raid. A table of air routes (specifically those depicted on the world map), with current and projected flight times, is included at the upper left. Planes, Planes, and More Planes! The map's most arresting elements are the two dozen aircraft dramatically illustrated. Each aircraft is labeled and accompanied by a laudatory caption. Among these are the B-17 'Flying Fortress,' the Chance-Vought F4U 'Corsair,' the Republic P-47 'Thunderbolt,' the Lockheed P-38 'Lightning,' and the North American P-51 'Mustang.' Each of these aircraft played a critical role in the Allied WWII war effort and demonstrated key technological improvements. This History of Aviation and Projections for the Future - Flying Cars?! Several text boxes create a sort of border around the aircraft and include information about the history of powered flight, U.S. military decorations, medals, citations, insignia, a 'dictionary of aviation terms', and an explanation of U.S. Army and U.S. Navy aircraft designations. Two boxes along the right contain predictions concerning the future of aviation, stating that 'giant skyliners will whisk you from New York to Miami before lunch' and that 'detachable wings will make your 'air car' an auto in the city - a plane in the country'. A sea change is predicted: the 'skyway of tomorrow' with flying freight trains. The insignia of the United Nations is illustrated along the bottom border. Publication History and Census This map was drawn by F. E. Cheeseman and published by Albert Richard Sportswear in 1944. We believe that each location that sold Albert Richard products was given these broadsides with the business's name printed on it, as Schlesinger's of West New York, is printed on this example. Today, this map is rare.

Contact seller4-star sellerBy: James Wyld IIDate: 1878 (circa) LondonDimensions: 35.5 x 50 inches (90.2 x 127 cm)This remarkable, highly detailed large-scale map was created during a military conflict known as the Second Anglo-Afghan War, one of three such wars, each of which pitted the British Raj (Crown rule in India) against Afghanistan. The wars were…fought due to the British desire to establish a buffer between themselves in India and the rapidly, ever-expanding Russian Empire. The third of these wars resulted in defeat for the British and the establishment of Afghanistan as a sovereign state.Issued as a folding map on linen backing, the work is divided into forty sections with outline hand coloring for territorial boundaries. The map covers a broad swathe of territory starting from the Caspian Sea and Niriz, Persia (modern day Iran) at its westernmost points and extending eastward as far as Issik Kul Lake in the northeast, and Delhi in the southeast. Created specifically for military use, the map could scarcely be more highly detailed, and would have been of great value in the field.A few details include the depiction of sites such as jade quarries, lapis lazuli deposits, and coal mines. Trails through the great desert regions are delineated, along with the location of water wells and salt pits in those areas, information which would have been invaluable to military forces.Canals and early railway systems are denoted.Mountain ranges are depicted in hachure and all are named, with elevations for separate peaks indicated in feet, and famous mountain passes named. Toponyms are provided for settlements, villages, towns and cities, and forts and outposts are found in the map. River systems including the Indus, Jumma, Oxus, and a short section of the Ganges to the east of Delhi are all depicted.For those interested in this part of the world, the map would make an interesting focal point on the wall of a study or personal library. It is rarely to be found on the market, with most copies being held by institutions.Condition:This rare oversize map is in A condition. Light toning at the horizontal centerfold, otherwise clean and bright, approaching museum quality.Inventory #126911200 W. 35th Street #425 Chicago, IL 60609 | P: (312) 496 - 3622.

There are vertical stitching issues near center that are relics of the scan, not evident on actual map. Size 70 x 81 Inches. An enormous, classified, and scarce four-sheet map of Kiev (Kyiv), standing…more than six feet tall, produced in 1989 by the Soviet Military Topographic Directorate of the General Staff (??????-??????????????? ?????????? ???????????? ?????). It depicts the city near the end of the Soviet Era, holding high the flag of socialism and Russian-Ukrainian unity, but also reflecting some cracks in the edifice of state power. A Closer Look Kiev is displayed with districts (?????) noted, while a grid surrounds the map providing a system for referencing locations. Roads, railways, and metro lines and stations are labeled in detail, while an inset map at bottom-left focuses on the metro system. Landmarks, important public institutions, historical sites, and notable places of leisure (such as cinemas and libraries) are marked with numbers throughout, corresponding to an index at bottom left. Other 'public and cultural buildings,' such as schools, hospitals, and markets, appear in black and are labeled. Among residential areas, darker red shading denotes high-rises while lighter red shading is used for low-rise buildings. Included are the city's grand churches and cathedrals, though the largest are noted as 'museums' rather than active places of worship. However, the legend at bottom right explains that crosses on the map indicate 'churches' (??????, not explained are the smaller crosses used for cemeteries). In fact, by the time of publication, Gorbachev's glasnost policies had opened the door for more overt religious expression, including a degree of autonomy from the state-operated Russian Orthodox Church. A (Somewhat) Secret Map This map is marked as classified, 'for administrative use' (??? ?????????? ???????????), at top right, but this designation was not the highest level of secrecy which many other Military Topographic Depot maps held. It was likely meant for a municipal government office and, as it was somewhat publicly displayed, sensitive information had to be removed. For instance, the Zhuliany Airport in the southwestern portion of the city is not marked but is simply a blank area next to the neighborhood of the same name (??????; in recent years, the airport was renamed after Igor Sikorsky, a native of the city who fled from the Bolsheviks in 1919). Kiev's Postwar and Post-Independence Rebirths Kiev as seen here was defined by its post-World War II reconstruction, which was nearly total as the city had been devastated by the war. Massive investments in defense-related industries like aerospace and electronics helped to expand the Kiev's population and necessitated the construction of a metro system (only the third in the Soviet Union, after Moscow and Leningrad), additional bridges across the Dnipro River, and the Boryspil Airport (beyond the scope of this map). However, the 1970s saw renewed efforts at Russification and discouragement of expressions of Ukrainian identity, including the Ukrainian language. Following Ukrainian independence, and especially in the past decade, monuments and other markers that were meant to emphasize (or exaggerate) shared Russian-Ukrainian identity and history have been repurposed. For instance, number 77 in the index at bottom-left, the 'Monument in Honor of the Reunification of Ukraine with Russia' (referring to the Pereiaslav Agreement of 1654) was constructed in 1982 as part of a series of ceremonies meant to reinforce Ukrainian-Russian shared identity and belonging within the Soviet Union. The monument included two large statues and a towering arch, which indignant locals dubbed the 'yoke' (?????). After Ukrainian independence, the arch was renamed the 'Peoples' Friendship Arch,' but increased tensions with Russia and domestic political chan.

Contact seller4-star sellerVery good. Exhibits light wear and toning along original fold lines. Close left margin. Blank on verso. Size 42.5 x 20.5 Inches. This is a scarce 1900 map of the Philippines prepared under the direction of General Adolphus Washington Greely. This map represents a major step forward in Philippine infrastructure. The map is large…and comprehensive, extending from the Babuyan Islands to the Sulu Archipelago, encompassing most of the modern-day Philippines except for Palawan. Cartographically, it is derived from the 1870 work of Claudio Montero y Gay. The map exhibits limited depth soundings throughout, but particularly between major island groups. American telegraphic cables, both extent and projected, are highlighted in red, while British lines appear in blue. Brigadier General Adolphus Washington Greely When this map was issued, Greely was the chief of the U.S. Army Signal Corps, in charge of constructing telegraph cables throughout U.S. Territories. In the Philippines, units under Greely's command laid over 10,000 miles of telegraph cable. Combined with existing British submarine lines, the telegraph cables laid under Greely's tenure provided the Philippines Islands' first comprehensive communication network. The Philippine-American War The Philippine-American War lasted from February 4, 1899, until July 2, 1902, when the Philippine Organic Act established the Second Philippine Commission and Philippine legislature. The war immediately followed the Spanish-American War, once Filipinos realized, to their chagrin, that the Americans were in the islands to stay. Estimates of Filipino civilian casualties vary wildly, from at least 200,000 to over one million, the majority of which were caused by famine and disease. Armed resistance to the U.S. occupation of the Philippines continued as a guerrilla insurrection in many parts of the archipelago until June 1913. The U.S. passed the Tydings-McDuffie Act, also known as the Philippine Independence Act, in 1934. This law created the Commonwealth of the Philippines, increased self-governance, and scheduled Philippine independence for 1944. World War II delayed this process, and the U.S. did not grant full independence to the Philippines until 1946.
