Description
"explored by Capt. W.F. Raynolds, Topl. Engrs and 1st Lieut. H.E. Maynadier 10th Infy. assistant. 1859-60. To accompany a report of the Bureau of Topographical Engineers. Lt.Col. Hartman Bache in charge. ... Prepared to accompany the geological report of F.V. Hayden, M.D. geologist to the expedition." Wheat (1012) 1860. "... an extremely well-drawn map, and except for the fact that it contains certain information gathered between the time of its making and that of its actual printing, which was not until 1868, it is probably the best map of its area that had been produced.- Carl I. Wheat Vol.IV.- p.187. Wheat mentions also a manuscript map made on the expedition [1860, Raynolds, 2] of its first season that was never published. He makes no mention of this geology version that illustrated Hayden's report. Geologic data has been superimposed by hand and the title somwhat expanded. Lith. by Julius Bien. Defective, very brown and fragile, with upper left corner gone, long surface repair in center. Equivalent to a "reading copy" of a scarce book.
