These maps were primarily used by business, because of their accurate listing of railroads in operation as well as tables of statistical information. This map is unique in several ways, their large format makes an impressive display, and offers additional room where many small towns and extra details are included. Additionally a list of every railroad operating in the state in 1930 is included. All railroad routes are shown on the map. This map includes all cities and towns, lakes, rivers, and bodies of water. All topographical features are also included as well as political features such as counties and Native American Indian reservations. This map measures 19 inches by 26 inches.

Condition: Very Good. First edition. viii [1] - 120 pp. With the frontispiece folding map by F. D. Richards and all engravings and woodcuts present. Folio [31 cm] Rebacked in red leather with gilt bands and gilt stamped title on the spine. Original marble boards, with underlying boards exposed along the edges. Sprinkled edges. N…ew gray endpapers. Hinges reinforced. Ex-library, with a single library label on the front pastedown. The front flyleaf has several minor tears to the fore-edge, and there are light tide marks (the majority of them small) in the margins of the plates. These marks occasionally just begin to bleed into the images. Caption title of bottom engraving on plate facing p. 44 trimmed close. The celebrated map shows the Utah Territory, outlined by hand in red, with its various counties; the Mormon trail is shown in brown and blue. In this map, Utah still includes Nevada and shows up as the only important Territory of the Great Basin. Fremont's routes are marked as well. The work was issued with 9 woodcuts and 30 engraved plates; all are present in this copy. There is a small pencil tick-mark next to the title of each of these on the list of plates. Lacking the tissue protectors. Scarce in any condition. A collection of engravings of the most significant landmarks and points of interest on the Route between Liverpool and Great Salt Lake City, such as "New Orleans," "St. Louis," "Camp at Keokuck," "Ruins of the Temple at Nauvoo," "Room in which Joseph and Hyrum Smith were imprisoned," "Wall against which Joseph Smith was placed and shot at after his assassination," "Council Bluffs Ferry & group of Cotton-wood trees," and "Great Salt Lake City in 1853." The book also includes portraits of prominent Latter-day Saints, including Joseph Smith, Hyrum Smith, Lucy Smith, and Brigham Young. Extremely high quality illustrations made from the drawings that talented young artist Frederick Piercy made along the trail. Bibliographer Peter Crawley states that "Route from Liverpool ranks as the most beautiful book published by the Latter-day Saints." Wright Howes refers to this work as "One of the most elaborately and beautifully illustrated of western books," and Carl Wheat called the Richards map "one of the most illuminating maps of the West". Wheat further declares, "This is not only an important map in the history of Mormonism, but is in every sense an important map of the West, giving as it does a carefully drawn picture of that entire area. Practically nothing is shown in the whole of New Mexico, including present Arizona, but for regions to the east, west and north the map is accurate and reasonably detailed." Wheat closes by claiming, "The map was excellent for the period." Originally serialized in fifteen issues starting in July of 1854, this impressive volume was the brainchild of young convert Frederick Piercy, and Samuel Richards, president of the Liverpool Mission. They envisioned a travel guide for English converts who wanted to make the trek to the Salt Lake Valley. Piercy (1830-1891) was a gifted artist and engraver whose beautiful work fills this volume. The overland journey of the Piercy party was made in 1853. Starting from New Orleans, the party proceeded up the Mississippi to Saint Louis and Nauvoo, back to Saint Louis, and then across Missouri and Nebraska to Wyoming, and over the South Pass into the Great Salt Lake Valley. The woodcuts and engravings that illustrate this work provide a rare visual glimpse of the overland trail and the Mormon trail west to the valley of the Great Salt Lake. Crawley 1070.

Single Sheet. Condition: Very Good-. Original. Original color lithographed map printed by Rand, McNally & Company, Engravers and published in HARDESTY'S HISTORICAL AND GEOGRAPHICAL ENCYCLOPEDIA: SPECIAL VIRGINIA EDITION. 19 3/8 inches by 13 1/4 inches on a 21" X 14 1/2" sheet. The map depicts the Territory of Utah in its final f…orm--large areas had been removed and ceded to Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming, and Nebraska since Utah became a U. S. Territory in 1850. The issue of polygamy prevented statehood until it was finally granted in 1896. This map features railroads and topography and uses color to set off counties from each other. Unlike most atlas maps of the period, this map identifies most small towns. The map is guaranteed to be moe than 135 years old. The map is in about very good condition: generally clean and bright, with slight toning of paper and one faint water stain near the center-left edge of the map. Size: Elephant Folio - over 15" - 23" tall. Map.

Condition: Very good. First printing. Map [56.5 cm x 43 cm] Modern roads are printed in black ink and the trails are printed in red ink. With folds as issued. Short split at fold. Minor crinkling. First printing with Morgan's name printed incorrectly. Printed in black and red and showing all of the historical trails through the…state of Utah. The legend in the lower left corner lists these trails chronologically, beginning with Escalante (1776) and ending with the Pony Express (1860). Included are all of the major US surveys (Fremont, Powell, Simpson and Stansbury), the known mountain men and fur trader routes (Ashley, Ogden and Smith), and the overland trails (California, Oregon, Mormon) and those who crossed the salt flat desert (Donner, Hastings, Clyman, Bryant-Russell). Thirty historic trails are shown in all. Drawn by Fehmel. On the reverse is a short introduction by Rulon S. Howells. Followed by brief descriptions of all of the trails listed, and a short history of Forts in Utah. Saunders 73. According to Saunders, "Though this was a publicity item Howells introduced it as a general trail guide, cautioning those who venture off-road to be well prepared. This map is actually not detailed enough to be much of a help to anyone intent on tracing the actual trails." Clearly the cornerstone for the Utah Centennial Trails Map (1996) that was prepared by several members of the Utah Westerners.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Good. Contemporary cloth binding. Provenance - from Glasgow University Library, with the stamp sized coat of arms pasted beside the title of each map, as pictured. The map is paper and has a few splits to creases and the occasional hole to corners where creases intersect, all as pictured.… In 1852, Stansbury was ordered to travel from Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, to survey the Great Salt Lake in Utah, evaluate emigration trails, especially in Oregon and Mormon trails, and to scout for possible locations for a transcontinental railroad. The expedition consisted of 18 men including his second in command Lieutenant John Williams Gunnison. Over the few years to follow the expedition covered the Great Salt Lake, Utah Lake and Cache Valley of northern Utah all the way to Fort Hall in Southern Idaho. Stansbury's seminal 1852 map of the Great Salt lake region in Utah is considered to be the first accurate survey of the Great Basin as well as a cornerstone achievement in the mapping of the American West. Measurements: Map of the Great Salt Lake and Adjacent Country in the Territory of Utah: 44" x 32" Map of Reconnaissance between Fort Leavenworth on Missouri River, and the Great Salt Lake in the Territory of Utah: 30" x 69".
