Description: Handsome original 1889 antique color lithographed map of the Arizona and New Mexico Territories, published more than 134 years ago. The image area measures 23 x 29 cm [9" x 11½"] and there is good detail on old county configurations and railroad alignments. In New Mexico it shows a branch of the Santa Fe Railroad to Silver City, which had opened shortly before the map was printed. And in Arizona, it shows the Arizona Central Railway, which connected the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad to Prescott, the former territorial capital, from Prescott Junction, later renamed Seligman. The Gila Valley, Globe & Northern Railway, later renamed the Arizona Eastern Railway, is shown as under construction. Topography is drawn in relief, and longitude is measured from Greenwich and Washington. The map was engraved by E.F. Fisk and published by Hunt & Easton in The Peoples Cyclopedia of Universal Knowledge, New York, 1889. On the reverse side there are population tables for each territory with county-by-county totals of white and colored residents, as well as a breakdown of native white, foreign white, and colored males of 21 years of age and over. Data is based on the 1880 federal census, with revisions in 1882. Condition: This map is in excellent condition, bright and clean, with a vertical center fold, as issued, and no marks, rips, or tears. Please see the scans and feel free to ask any questions. This is an original, authentic antique map, not a reproduction or modern reprint, and it is fully guaranteed to be genuine. It would make a bold and handsome display in your den or office. It would also make a perfect gift, and we'll include our helpful framing tips for your reference, along with a copy of the dated title page from the book in which it was published.
