Early Rand McNally vertical format Texas map from scarce 1876 Jones & Hamilton atlas. Large and uncommon McNally vertical format map of Texas from the scarce 1876 Jones & Hamilton Historical Atlas of the World Illustrated. The institution that owns the only other copy of this map that I can find states it was surveyed by L. C. Woodruff & L. Sitgreaves, although the map up for auction is an earlier version (western counties still show as Territories) and the offered map is also somewhat larger. The institution also identifies their copy as a source map. Rand and McNally started in the map business in 1872, so this is a very early McNally Texas map. Highly detailed—shows railroads, pioneer and explorer routes, roads, forts, camps, Indian tribes, rivers, topography, water holes, few battle sites and general information for travelers, such as “Fine Alluvial Lands, deep black sandy loam, etc.” Early printed color with hachures. Very strong impression. Repaired centerfold splits, small bit of foxing, mostly at edges. Left frame prints to edge, as published. 19.125 x 25 inches.
