1876754Chicago: Warner & Beers 1876. 16 x 13 1/4 inches. Very good condition. This is a very nice single page map of Decatur IL and vicinity. It was printed in black and white. Color was then added at the time of publication.There were five wards in the city each delineated by the use of color. The railroad landscape was prominently placed in this map. The Illinois Central main line runs through the right center of the map. The Wabash intersects on the east side of town. The Indiana & Illinois Central runs through the major junction. Overall a very nice transportation map of Decatur Illinois. Warner & Beers unknown
1875726chicago: Warner & Beers 1875. 17 x 13 3/4 inches. Very good condition. This is a very handsomely composed map of the Southeast United States. It covers North Carolina South Carolina Georgia and Florida. The map was hand colored at the time of publication. It captures each county using a distinctive pastel color scheme. The nations railroad network was extensive and through the state of Georgia. The state of Florida shows a less dense network and non-existent network in south Florida. the lands that far south were not habitable year round and consequently less economic development to support year-around rail operations. This is a fine example of the mapmakers art in the latter half of the 19th century. Warner & Beers unknown

One might say that this map provides a snapshot of the agricultural frontier of the period. Warner & Beers unknown

1871285Chicago: Warner Higgins and Beers 1871. 16 1/4 x 14 1/2 inches. Very good with minor soiling. This map was a component of H. H. Lloyds & Co "Atlas of the United States." Dakota was not a state until November 2nd of 1889 but county formation within the Territory was noted. The composition of this region highlights the post war and post-transcontinental railroad settlement patterns. The Union Pacific Railroad Wass completed two year before the map was made. Significant settlement had occurred along the railroad as had previously occurred along the Missouri River. This is a very nice cartographic artifact of the region during its important settlement period. Warner Higgins and Beers unknown
