Description
California, Nevada & Arizona. George F. Cram & Company, [Lot of 2] New Rail Road and County Map of Northern California and Nevada [and] New Rail Road and County Map of Southern California and Arizona, from Cram's Unrivaled Family Atlas of the World, 1882 (circa). Hand Color. A nice pair of early double-page Cram maps, each with hand-coloring which is unusual for this time in commercial cartography as most publisher had shifted to more cost effective printed color. Taken together, the two maps encompass all of California, Nevada and Arizona as well as western Utah. Each is filled with excellent detail including railroads, towns and villages, county divisions, mines, watersheds, topography and more. The southern sheet has a single-page map of Alaska on verso.

There is minor soiling and faint dampstains confined to the top and bottom blank margins. The southern sheet has short centerfold separations confined to the margins that have been closed on verso with archival tape. Numerous pencil drawings on versos do not show through. Grade: B+
