Item description from seller

Folding lithographic map (sheet size: 24 x 19½ inches) by Hutawa, hand-coloured in outline, tipped onto the inner lower cover of the original drab paper-covered boards. An interesting and rare Gold Rush-era map, showing the locations of various western Indian tribes, overland routes, and the region comprising present-day Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and Oklahoma. The fourth issue of an interesting and historically important map. The Cooke and Kearny routes to the Pacific are shown, and there is an inset showing the area around Mexico City. This example is preceded by three earlier issues which all appeared within a couple of years of each other in 1847 to 1849. The present example differs from its precursors in that it is dated 1863, includes the words "New Mexico" printed on the map, and has colored boundaries indicating the Gadsden Purchase. "Particularly interesting is the number of routes west traced on the map; most of them are accurate. The locations given in New Mexico are very full" (Graff), also included are fascinating details of the locations of forts, trading posts, and various Native American tribes. The German-born printer, Julius F. Hutawa, settled in St. Louis where, along with his brother Edward, he established a well-known lithography and printing business in the 1830s. The present map is a prime example of their specialized travelers' maps.
