An impressive large-scale 1862 Civil War era wall map of Maine by Henry Francis Walling and Jacob Chace Jr. This the first major map of Maine to follow the 1844 map of Jeremiah Greenleaf. The map represents the culmination of Walling and Chace's decades of work…in Maine. For years, they compiled and published Maine city and county maps, giving them access to unprecedented up-to-date cartographic data, all of which is represented here. A Closer Look Cities illustrated via inset include Portland, Calais, Presque Isle, Houlton, Ellsworth, Bangor, Eastport, Machias, Bath, Farmington, Dover and Foxcroft, Paris Hill, Skowhegan, Waterville, Hallowell, Wiscasset, Gardiner, Augusta, Waldboro, Brunswick, Thomaston, Rockland, Auburn, and Lewiston, and Saco and Biddeford. Additional insets highlight the United States as a whole - reflecting the Civil War Confederate state of Arizona -, the world, and charts denoting distances and the relative heights of great mountains. Publication History and Census This map was compiled by Walling and Chase with the assistance of M. Clemens and T. W. Baker. It was engraved by W. Hatfield. The large inset ma of the United States is attributed to D. Griffing Johnson. We note examples of this map in several major collections, but examples in exceptional condition, as here, are rare to the market. References: Rumsey 152.000. Phillips (America) p. 385.
