More Information

A highly appealing 1865 map of the western parts of the United States drawn to illustrate Samuel Bowles' Across the Continent. The map covers from the Pacific Ocean to Illinois and the Great Lakes. It is notable for its detailed inclusion of important trans-continental emigrant routes, including the Overland Stage Route and Proposed R.R. Route, Route of Central Pacific R.R., the Salt Lake and Walla Walla Mail Route, Smoky Hill express and Stage Route, and more. A large inset in the lower right quadrant focuses on the Sacramento Valley and the bustling San Francisco Bay / California Gold Region. This map was drawn by Samuel Bowles and printed by G. W. Colton. Engraved by J. H. Goldthwait and ‘Entered according to Act of Congress in the Year 1865 by J. H. Goldthwait in the Clerks Office of the district Court of the U.S. for the Southern District of New York'.

What our customers are saying

★★★★★

I purchased an historic map, 16x24 inch. It is beautifully printed on heavy stock. The lettering, colors, and details of the map are crisp and easy to read. I am highly satisfied and would certainly purchase from Historic Pictoric again!

Ordered the Pan American Midway print to fit a lovely thrift-store gilded frame. I love showing off Buffalo's rich history and this is a pretty entertaining photo from 1901. Prompt shipping. Sturdy packaging.

I received my print within days of ordering, and it arrived well packed in a mailing tube. The print is high quality and exactly as advertised. I will use Historic Pictoric again in the future!

Excellent product. Great fidelity in reproduction of the original. Fine/minute details were sharp, colors were vibrant, and thickness, texture and overall feel and quality of the paper were excellent. Very satisfied with my purchase.

I have purchased six maps from Historic Pictoric. I find the quality to be excellent. Their customers service is also excellent. Outstanding! I called to exchange a few for different sizes and I could not have asked for a better experience.

The original map I ordered lacked some of the detail that I had hoped for, but they responded with several more map possibilities to choose from. Excellent service- a far step beyond what anyone expects from online purchases.

I am a owner of 5 maps from Historic Pictoric. From Okinawa, 1945, Europe 1940-1945 battle maps. Now they’re helping me with the battle of Gettysburg. These maps are so much superior to the map on a page in a book. I have framed two of them.
