Chittenden, George B.
George B. Chittenden (December 25, 1849 - February 24, 1939) was a topographer and surveyor who worked for the U.S. Geological and Geographical Survey of the Territories, precursor to the U.S. Geological Survey. Born and raised in Connecticut, Chittenden attended Yale University and trained as a civil engineer. Upon graduation, he joined the U.S. Geological and Geographical Survey of the Territories and from 1873 to 1876 surveyed the Colorado Territory. In 1877, he surveyed portions of the Wyoming and Idaho Territories. Soon afterwards, he was diagnosed with rheumatism, precluding further fieldwork in the American West. Instead, he and his brother established an engineering firm in Washington, D.C.

An impressive, large-scale 1878 map of Wyoming 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. It is among the earliest geological maps of Wyoming. Though some earlier geological maps of the territory had been undertaken by the military and by Hayden himself, the surveys by USGGST were significantly more comprehensive. (more details)
