Prepared By The Bureau Of Immigration." 2. "Map Of The Santa Fe Route And Connections." An uncommon promotional for the territory of New Mexico printed in Santa Fe by the Bureau of Immigration and including large folding maps of New Mexico and its land grants and of the Santa Fe Railroad and connections. The text covers a wide range of subjects such as the land and its energy resources farming cattle raising manufacturing irrigation projects the New Mexico Hot Springs schools population statistics and a long section of detailed descriptions of the New Mexico territory county by county. Herd 857 says "Scarce." The first map shows the location boundaries and grantees of all of the numerous early Spanish and Mexican land grants prepared by the Bureau of Immigration of which Max Frost was a member of the Executive Committee. The status of land grants in New Mexico at this time was a matter of contention and the detailed information given on this map would have been of interest to current and prospective land owners in the territory. The second map by Rand McNally shows the routes and extensive connections along the Santa Fe Railroad from Chicago to Missouri and then snaking into Kansas and throughout the Southwest. This work is scarce to rare. Rebacked with both the original front and rear covers laid-down separation along the spine joint of the front cover has been expertly repaired small closed tear to fore-edge of front cover expertly repaired else a very good clean and solid copy.
