(William Keeler). National Map of The Territory of The United States from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean. Photo available. Washington. William J. Keeler. 1867. 58 x 48 inches. A cornerstone Map of the Transmississippi West. Made by authority of Hon O.H. Browning, Secretary of the Interior. This extraordinary map, shows al the United States west of the Mississippi River shortly after the end of the Civil War, just when the great westward expansion began. The map shows hand-coloring throughout, and the areas of the country which have been organized are delineated. Vast areas are shown completely unsettles. Much attention is given to the various army posts and camps and also much attention where various minerals such as gold, silver, quicksilver, are located. Carl Wheat in his Mapping the Transmississippi West (Vol. V, pp. 211 ff) notes that while the map was privately copyrighted by William J. Keller, the U.S. government Printing Office published a 30 page booklet about the map entitles, Notes to Accompany Keeler's Maps of the U.S. Territory from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean, containing authentic information connected with the Territories, and the different Vollard Routes to the Pacific Ocean. This book notes that "The location of all the known mines of gold, silver, copper, and other valuable metals, are carefully and accurately noted." Wheat further goes on to state that "... it (the map) shows all the Nation west of Chicago and New Orleans, from the southernmost point of Texas to the 48th parallel, with adjacent parts of Mexico also delineated. Indian reservations scattered here and there are immediately striking. A great many towns and settlements are located, many perhaps never previously shown on a general map... Keeler's large and imposing map is of almost unmanageable size, but it offers something of interest in every part of the West and is worth wrestling with." The map shows a scale of 36 miles to one inch. North of a sparsely-settled Texas is shown the various Indian nations of present-day Oklahoma. Many, many forts and camps are located on the western edge of the settled part of Texas, the vast western area of Texas completely unsettle. All rivers, mountain ranges, and existing railroads are located, together with settlements and cities. A route delineated in red is drawn from St. Louis through Missouri, Indian Territory, the Texas Panhandle, New Mexico, Arizona, ending at San Francisco with branches off to San Diego and Los Angeles. Also a small branch goes from Fr. Smith, Arkansas joining the major route in Indian Territory. This map is so full of information, one can spend days examining it. This mammoth map furnished something of significance in each state and territory it covers. Truly a cornerstone map of the Transmississippi West. Includes the original binding. Very Scarce. This map has been restored to museum specifications, and because if its size has been sectioned into two parts, each measuring 29 x 48 inches. The map has been restored by deacidification and laminated onto acid-free board. This item was professionally restored in the 1970s by the W.J. Barrow Restoration Shop, a leader in conservation methods, including de-acidification and mounting on cellulose acetate film.
