The extremely rare 1851 edition of the Jean-Frédéric Rosa Map of Texas, California, and Mexico - considered the rarest of the 'Treaty Maps' used to settle the Mexico-Texas border between 1847 and 1853. This is grand map covering all of Mexico and much the southwestern part of the United States from the Pacific to the Apalachicola River and extending as far north as Great Salt Lake (Timpanogos). It was published in Paris by Jean-Frédéric Rosa on behalf of the Mexican Congreso General in anticipation of renewed negotiations over that part of the southwest that would eventually be annexed to the United States as part of the Gadsden Purchase. The map, generally based upon the 1826 Tanner map of Mexico, offers much of interest, including a recognition of American claims in Texas and Upper California, and multiple border configurations within Texas itself. It is the rarest of the three maps, along with the Tanner and Disturnell, used to negotiate the Gadsden Purchase. (more details)

This is the first official map of Arizona Territory, published in 1880 by Emil A. Eckhoff and Paul Riecker. Rumsey calls this 'one of the best maps of Arizona as a territory.' It represents the primary cartographic resource during one of the most exciting and romantic periods of Arizona's history - recording the Arizona Silver and Copper mining boom, the early development of the territory's infrastructure and railroads, and the era of frontier lawlessness marked by the Gunfight at O.K. Corral, and other similar events. (more details)

An extraordinary first-edition first-state example of William J. Keeler’s 1867 map of the Trans-Mississippi West - considered the finest post-Civil War railroad era map of the west - with unique manuscript annotations and additions relating to the American Indian Reservation System. This one of a kind historic document was likely the official example retained by the Indian Bureau, and possibly by Keeler himself, to administer and document the development of the American Indian Reservation system through the late 1860s.

This is a beautiful example of Nicolas Sanson's 1656 map of New Mexico and Florida: the first atlas map to emphasize this geographical focus. It also presented arguably the most influential depiction of California-as-an-island, providing the dominant model of that cartography for the remainder of the seventeenth century, reaching into the eighteenth.

The only known example of the 1848 edition of House and Brown's broadside map of Texas, Mexico, and Upper California, issued at the end of the Mexican-American War (1846 - 1848). The map is centered on Texas, which is presented at its largest, with its western border embracing Albuquerque and Santa Fe, and the stovepipe configuration extending its northern border to 42° N latitude. The map is elaborated by inset maps of Monterey illustrating the Battle of Monterrey (September 21 - 24, 1846) and Veracruz, Mexico. In addition, the Gulf of Mexico is occupied by a large vignette view of the fortress of San Juan de Ulúa, Veracruz. In this edition, Texas is uncolored, emphasizing that it is part of the United States, but Upper California and New Mexico are colored as Mexican intendencias, suggesting this map predates the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and must therefore have been sent to the presses sometime before February 28, 1848.

Although drawn by an unknown hand, the map offers a wealth of unique information ranging from early gold discoveries, mines, and indigenous settlements to the very unusual inclusion of the explorer's route of Jedediah Smith. While mysterious, the work suggests it was drawn by a potential German 49er for personal use. (more details)

This is the extremely rare, unpublished 1851 map of the Territory of New Mexico produced by John G. Parke and Richard Kern. Known as the Parke-Kern Map, it was printed within the War Department and separately issued on an individual basis but never included in a Congressional Report, as were other key early maps of the American West. The map was then reprinted several times in the late 19th and early 20th century with no obvious changes, but which can be distinguished from the original plate by very close examination. The present example is one of these later, c. 1900, reissues, which in themselves are still very rare. (more details)

First maps to name Arizona?
This is the 1860 Richmond-imprint first edition of Johnson's New Illustrated (Steel Plate) Family Atlas. While Johnson's atlases are not, in general, rare, the 1860 Richmond first edition is a genuine rarity. It is one of the only atlases published in the soon-to-be Confederacy prior to the American Civil War (1861 - 1865). It also includes the first two maps to name Arizona, predating the existence of the Arizona Territory by 5 years.
