Item Details
Description
  • Publication Date: 1880
  • Title: Map of a portion of western North America showing the distribution of Vegetation with reference to the Multiplication of and means of subduing the Rocky Mountain Locust.
  • Cartographer: Henry Gannett
  • Publisher: Department of the Interior, U.S. Entomological Survey
  • Height: 13.75
  • Width: 15.00

    Prepared under the direction of the U.S. Entomological Commission by Henry Gannet E.M. 1879. Map 1. Middle Eastern section. From: Second Report of the United States Entomological Commission for the years 1878 and 1879, relating to the Rocky Mountain Locust, and the Western Cricket and treating of the best means of subduing the locust in its permanent breeding grounds, with a view of preventing its migrations into the more fertile portions of the trans-Mississippi country, in pursuance of appropriations made by Congress for this purpose... An important series of maps that in addition to the subjects stated by the title locates nearly all the forts ever constructed in the Rocky Mountain West. Also all railroads, built or projected. Centers on the North Platte River. No specimen of this species (Melanoplus spretus), the swarming phase of the short-horned grasshopper, has been collected since at least 1899. Like the Passenger Pigeon, an amazing extinction. Handsome topo map where Black Hills and Rocky Mountains stand out from plains. Shows extent of RR development, forts and Indian agencies (as their rights had been eradicated as surely as the locusts). Esp. detailed around Denver with Central, Golden, Fairplay, Greeley, Leadville and Colorado Springs. Southern Dakota to Omaha, Abilene, Denver, Ft. Laramie and Black Hills with Forts, RRs & Indian Agencies. Fold repair.
