Christiansted Quadrangle, U.S. Virgin Islands

The United States Geological Survey publishes topographic maps of the entire United States. These maps are often used as the basis for other commercial map products and they serve as one of the best tools available for navigating the country's wild and urban terrain. The maps show contour lines (lines of equal elevation) which depict natural features of the land, as well as streams, roads, trails, forest types, buildings, and other natural man-made features. It has become more difficult over the years to find these older publication dates.

Insulae Americanae in Oceano Septentrionali, cum Terris adiacentibus
|
This attractive map called the American Islands is essentially a coastal chart of the eastern seaboard from the Chesapeake to Florida, all of the Gulf of Mexico to the Orinoco River in Venezuela, and part of the Pacific coast of Central America. The map was based upon the Hessel Gerritz map of circa 1631, which was separately published and is extremely rare. Gerritz was the cartographer for the Dutch West India Company, working under Johannes de Laet, who was in charge of Dutch interests in the Americas and Africa. The new material for this map was gathered in 1628 during a voyage through the region that may have included Chesapeake Bay and certainly included all the places from the Bahamas south and southwest depicted in the map

Popular Map of Cuba
|
Rand McNally & Company, still a major name in map publishing to this day, began as a small print shop opened in Chicago in 1856 by William H. Rand. The shop originally printed guidebooks and directories. In 1858, Rand hired Andrew McNally who was later to become a partner. Within the next few years, the shop got into the railroad business by starting to print railway tickets and schedules, a key step in the development of the company. The ticket printing led to the publishing of railway guides, and by 1872 Rand McNally and Company had the capacity to publish maps. This map of Cuba came from Rand McNally's Commercial Atlas, sixty-first Edition dated 1930. A highly successful run of atlases that lasted over a decade. These maps were primarily used by business, because of their accurate listing of railroads in operation as well as tables of statistical information. This map includes cities and towns, lakes, rivers, and bodies of water. All topographical features are also included as well as political features such as regions and provinces.

West Indies
|
This large scale map came from Rand McNally's
Commercial Atlas of America.
The Rand McNally Atlas was unusual for its time because
it was designed to be used by merchants and shippers.
Therefore this map is exceptionally detailed in that it
shows every railroad, post office, and small town in
existence at that time. Many towns shown in this map
have since ceased to exist, or have been swallowed up by
larger towns.
This map has beautiful color and would look very nice framed.
This map also has inset maps of Jamaica and Porto Rico.

West Indies and Cuba
|
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries American publishing was growing rapidly and with it arose new cartographic publishers that made attractive and accurate maps that would certainly rival any of their peers. This map of the West Indies and Cuba comes from a set published by one of the smaller publishing houses of the time, and is a fine example of latest information complimented by fine production. Beautiful colors and an attention to detail make these maps from Crowell & Kirkpatrick's "Peerless Atlas" stand out. A fine addition to any collection.
