1877 Geology Geography Surveys 1ed Nevada Wyoming Utah George Wheeler US West 2v
George Wheeler was a 19th-century American explorer who was one of the primary voyagers of the American west. Beginning in 1869, Wheeler embarked on his first exploration to California with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In 1872, a report on his explorations was published by the Washington Government Printing Office and covered Wheelers discoveries in Nevada and Arizona, New Mexico, Wyoming, Utah, and parts of Colorado. This survey includes impressive folding map of topographical views of the American west.
These volumes from the 1877 “Report upon Geographical Surveys” include reports on astronomy and barometric hypsometry findings throughout the American west with impressive sketches of surveyed towns such as:
Pioche, Nevada
For Union, New Mexico
Green River, Wyoming
Trinidad, Colorado
Saint George, Utah
According to Paher,
“Wheeler conducted the first official explorations of southern Nevadas interior area. His corps of engineers contributed to the report concerning the climate, geology, wildlife, the Indians and white settlement of southern Nevada in 1871. The map contains dozens of place names and is in itself a significant record. A valuable report”
