The First Atlas Map of New Mexico Territory In Its Final Configuration
Remarkable large format railroad map of New Mexico Territory.
The earliest separately issued map of New Mexico Territory in its modern configuration to appear in a commercial atlas. The map illustrates the early railroads, settlements, mining districts, Indian reservations, forts and other important early features.
Asher & Adams' atlas was one of the first United States atlases to exclusively feature railroad lines, showing minimal topography (in this later edition more topographical features are added, earlier editions have fewer features shown), and only showing towns on or next to the railroads lines.
Asher & Adams was a New York publishing firm known for their atlases. Notably, their maps were some of the first to prominently exhibit railroad lines, even if this meant a slight reduction in topographical detail. They specialized especially in state and county maps of the United States.
