1871328Chicago: Warner Higgins and Beers 1871. 16 1/4 x 13 1/4 inches. Good condition having marginal staining lower left without incursion into printed image. this is a medium rare map being published in only one year 1871. The map's a superb cartographic artifact. It was printed in black and white and colored by hand at the time of publication. There are two maps on one sheet each map on a different axis of 90 degrees. The Washington and Oregon map is stunning. It has fine hatching for the coastal range defining the geography of settlement. On the western face of the range to the Pacific Ocean there is a highly developed county system indicating significant settlement. Less dense is the areas east of the range. The Territir of Alaska is finely detailed having been acquired by Seward just four years earlier. Warner and Beers continued publishing after 1871. Higgins was dropped from listing in the title the following year. For its time this map represents the highest standard of cartographic productions. Warner, Higgins and Beers unknown
1874756Chicago: Warner & Beers 1874. 14 1/2 x 12 1/2 inches. Very good condition. This is a map of one of the more important townships of Illinois. It is winfield Township home of Turner's Junction. The first railroad junction in Illinois. The town is now called West Chicago Il. The Galena & Chicago Union Railroad opened from Chicago to Turner in 1849 with the intent of going through Elgin on its way to Galena. The railroad only made it to Freeport. This sure the development of several branches. The Aurora Branch Railroad joined the Galena at Turner and became the first railroad junction in Illinois. This is shown on the map where the C&NW RR Galena & Chicago Union Railroad meets up with the Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Aurora Branch Railroad. This map is an exceptional graphic representation of that fact. Warner & Beers unknown
