No Binding. Condition: Very Good. 13 x 7" map printed in color on one side that folds to about 2 x 3" and fits into a stiff card folder printed in blue. Front panel of card folder has the following information: "Compliments of F.M. Luther & Sons Brokers, Cimarron, Kansas." Map is in near fine condition with one short separation…closed with archival repair and no markings. Card stock folder slightly worn and slightly soiled. The Clason Map Company operated in Denver from the early 1900s until the Depression. It published numerous maps in different forms, including a "midget map" series. The distributor of this map, F. M. Luther & Sons, was a real estate brokerage headed by Francis [Frank] Luther, one of the founders of Cimarron, Kansas. I dated this map using a couple of named Kansas highways. The Carrie Nation Highway was established in 1917 and is shown on this map; but this map lacks a "Victory Highway" which was designated ca. 1921. A relatively rare map of Kansas.

Contact seller5-star sellerBrochure incorporating three maps, 7" x 3.75" folded; sheet size 28" x 21", single map printed on one side (24" x 20.5"), text and two maps on verso, one map 18" x 13" and other 20.5" x 6.5". CONDITION: Very good, a few small holes at folds, toning and two inch separation along one fold. A map brochure issued by the Security Tru…st and Savings Bank of Los Angeles, intended to promote the city, to advertise the bank, and to closely identify the growth of the city with the growth of the bank. Appearing on the recto is "The Map of the City of Los Angeles" extending from Griffith Park in the north to the beginning of the "Shoestring" strip in the south, and west from Huntington Avenue to the (former) intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Holloway Drive. Four capitalized letters indicate "The Four Security Corners," ie., where the four branches of the Security Trust and Savings Bank can be found. One is located "in the heart of the Downtown Section," another serves "the Ninth End of the Business District," another is available near the "West End of the Shopping District," and the fourth, the "Cahuenga Building," is the "largest Banking Institution in Hollywood." Numbers along the border mark the thoroughfares from Los Angeles to nearby towns and neighborhoods including Los Angeles' Harbor, San Francisco, San Diego, Culver City, and Redondo Beach. All of these are identified in a key below the map. There is an additional inset map on the right edge ("Insert A"), an enlarged view of the neighborhoods around Huntington Avenue. On the verso is a map of the "Complete City of Los Angeles" showing the entirety of Los Angeles including the Shoestring addition of 1909, as well as un-annexed towns and additions in the greater L.A. region. Also included is a map of"the Shoestring" and Los Angeles Harbor accompanied by a note on its history. Other notes cover such matters as "Growth of the City and the Growth of the Bank," the square mileage covered by the city, and its internal improvements, especially the construction of its aqueduct. The Security Trust and Savings Bank was a prominent financial institution in late nineteenth and early twentieth century Los Angeles and served as "one of the principal banks used by Hollywood for financing films (including those of Cecil B. DeMille), and for maintaining personal fortunes (Howard Hughes, Charlie Chaplin, and W. C. Fields are said to have had accounts at this bank)" ("Security Trust"). Their Cahuenga building in Hollywood was the tallest building in Hollywood in 1921, serving as a popular filming location of the silent film era. In fact, Raymond Chandler gave his iconic private eye, Philip Marlowe, an office there "on the sixth floor, two small rooms at the back. One I left open for a patient client to sit in, if I had a patient client" ("Cahuenga Building").

Contact seller4-star sellerThis is a superb cartographic artifact from the early years of automobile travel. The map is unusual in its large scale. Clason maps are generally a much smaller scale and usually state-centric. This map is rare with WorldCat locating two editions with a total of four copies. This map was used by a well travelled person. The use…r followed the trail system and marked the routes with blue and red markings. The pre-Federal highway numbering system of Trails dominates the map. The user travelled some trails more than once. Most prominent is the use of the National Old Trails road which was the predecessor to Route 66. Route 66 was introduced in 1926. The National Old Trails road was also known as the Coast-to-Coast highway. The road ran from Baltimore MD to Santa Monica, CA. This map's user travelled the most parts of the road. The Old Spanish Trail was traversed from St Augustine to San Diego. Red markings indicate the portions traveled each day. Multiple other trails were used as listed in the Trails index on the map, including the Oregon Trail.This map is a critical document in the history of transportation. It freezes a time where the consciousness of the traveling public had expanded and opened to the concept of transcontinental travel by car. The map's user chronicled that travel and the journeys are here recorded. The map is undated but WorldCat shows 1920 for the other non-Denver edition. This would be the same or only slightly thereafter. The period precedes heavy Federal involvement with the consciousness of long distance travel by car in its infancy. This is a rarity and an exception period documentation of the road well travelled. Good condition having been used as a travel document. Some tears at the fold intersection and overall mild soiling. The tears have been repaired with archival mending tape. Single sheet Wall Map measuring 32 x 26 inches WorldCat lists two editions with only four total locations found.

This is a large and highly detailed c. 1920 Clason Map Company pocket format map of California. This map depicts the entire state of California with green highlighting to di…stinguish county borders and national forest lands. Inset submaps in the upper right and lower left quadrants focus on the San Francisco Bay area and the vicinity of Los Angeles, respectively. An index set along the map's left-hand border offers population statistics and a key to various cities throughout the state. Publication History and Census Issued by the Clason Map Company of Denver, Colorado and Chicago, Illinois. This map underwent many changes and revisions between 1920 and 1930, all editions of which are undated. The census data on the map correlates to the 1920 Federal Census, which is how the map was dated. While there are some bridges and such on the map that were not constructed as of 1920, it was common to included planed and anticipated bridges on maps to increase their longevity. Nonetheless, with a c. 1920 date, we are confidante that the map was issued sometime between 1920 and the next Federal Census in 1930. References: OCLC 176916412.

Contact seller4-star sellerVery good. Slight wear along some fold lines. Some creases on the sleeve. Size 16 x 22 Inches. This is a very nice example of Clason's c. 1920 Washington State road and railway map. It highlights the state's infrastructure, while also showing information on national parks, Indian reservations, and administrative divisions. A Clo…ser Look The map includes a grid coordinate system in the margins corresponding to the index of settlements at right to allow for easy location of towns and cities. Dotted and dashed lines represent government surveying measurements, as shown in the legend. Government land (parks, forests) and Indian reservations constitute roughly half of the state's territory. Prominent near center is Mt. Rainier National Park, while other well-known mountains such as Baker (Kulshan), Adams (Klickitat), and Glacier Peak (Takobia) are easily identifiable. Road, rail, and steamship lines are clearly indicated, including connections to neighboring states and Canada, along with maritime connections to Alaska and East Asia. Publication History and Census This map very closely resembles Clason's 'Green Guide' for Washington but is an atypical example where the slip-sleeve advertises an automobile parts shop in Everett. The index is dated to 1920, a reference to the population figures in the census of that year, so the map may date from several years afterwards but in any event before 1930. The presentation, title, index, and legend resemble Clason maps of other western states dated to the late 1910s. This map may correspond to OCLC catalog listing 58875729, in which case it is held by five institutions in the United States and is very scarce to the market, with no catalog listings or history on the market matching this example with the aforementioned sleeve.

Contact seller4-star seller1st Edition. Very good. Light wear along original fold lines. Verso repairs to fold separations and at fold intersections. Closed edge tears professionally repaired on verso. Accompanied by original booklet. Size 16 x 23.75 Inches. This is a 1911 pocket map of Washington state prepared by the Clason Map Company, the earliest suc…h map of Washington prepared by the company. A Closer Look The state of Washington is displayed along with portions of Oregon, Idaho, and British Columbia. Red lines trace county boundaries, while black lines form a grid of latitude and longitude lines. Green shading denotes national forests. Cities and towns, mountains, waterways, and other features are labeled throughout. Railroads to the Pacific Rail lines, traced in black, stand out prominently, with the distances between stations recorded. Significantly, automobile roads are not noted, though they did exist. The state had established a Highway Board in 1905 and was working to improve existing dirt and gravel roads, but, as the map reflects, the vast majority of travelers continued to use railways, which had been built in profusion in the Pacific Northwest in the late 19th and early 20th century (note the density around Spokane in particular); in fact, the map displays several lines still under construction. Most of these lines belonged to two competing systems, the Great Northern Railway and the Northern Pacific Railroad. The Chicago, Milwaukee, and Puget Sound Railway, part of the larger 'Milwaukee Road' system, which had only reached Puget Sound a couple of years prior, is also indicated. The Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company that operated along the Columbia River had just become a subsidiary of the Union Pacific in 1910. The Canadian Pacific Railway appears near the top. Other lines, mostly local operations used for logging, are also traced. Many of these companies overbuilt their networks, spending millions to gain a slight advantage, and went deep into debt, leading to a raft of consolidation and closure of unprofitable lines in the early 20th century. American Indian Reservations The map also notes the location of several American Indian reservations, the largest of which are the Colville and Yakima (Yakama) Reservations. The former was and remains home to a mix of a dozen 'confederated tribes,' including the Chief Joseph band of Nez Piece. (The great chief died on the reservation in 1904.)
