Beschreibung
Unfolded linen-backed map. Measures 33 ½" x 24 ¾" to the inner edges of a wood and glass frame (35" x 26 ½"). Printed in full colors, coded to correspond to nine geological categories. Small tears with minor loss at a few old corner folds, very good. An unusual map for Rand McNally to issue, as geological maps were not common in their catalog, likely making this the only one they published. It was the contemporary interest in mining that motivated its publication and the inclusion of four "Mineralogical References" (Gold Districts, Silver Districts, Coal Lands, and Placer Diggings), in addition to the geological coloring. As noted in the catalog of the 1879 edition at the David Rumsey Historical Map Collection: "The main source for the geological formations was Hayden's General Geological Map of Colorado that appeared in his 1877 Atlas of Colorado. But Rand McNally's map has much more detail on towns and railroads than Hayden and is a much superior map in that respect". Scarce. *Ellis* 82 (1880 edition); *Phillips Maps of America*, p.242.
