Map is 20 x 24, folds down to fit in 9.5 x 5.75 gilt lettered cloth folder, map is lightly colored, misfolded, some edge tears, holes at folds, soiling and wear; folder is worn, spine-sunned; this is the only map remaining in folder (although the title says Maps). From Charles T. Jackson's REPORT ON THE GEOLOGICAL AND MINERALOGICAL SURVEY OF THE MINERAL LANDS OF THE UNITED STATES IN THE STATE OF MICHIGAN (1849). Still, would look decent with a little TLC. Contrary to earlier reports, the Chocolate River is not made up of real chocolate.

Livre Edition originale
Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. 1st Edition. House Ex. Doc. No. 69, octavo, 224 p., 12 engraved plates (most tinted), 4 folding maps (3 colored), and 55 text figures. ***CONTENT: In the 1840's, reports of extensive copper deposits on Michigan's upper peninsula led to a rush of prospectors. This Congressional report was one of the earliest to describe the geography, geology and mineral resources of the region, which for decades supplied much of the nation's copper output. Chapters provide a historical sketch of explorations, and consideration of geography, climate, geological details, mines and mining techniques, veins, ores and metallurgy, surficial deposits, and more. The splendid illustrations show scenery, bedrock exposures, mine workings, etc. Loosely inserted in this copy are the three exquisite hand-colored geological maps called for on page 58 of the text: 1) "Geological map of Keweenaw Point, Lake Superior, Michigan" (21.75 x 12 inches). This map shows rock types in five colors, copper-bearing "mineral land", active and abandoned mines, furnaces, and more. 2) "Geological map of the district between Portage Lake and Montreal River, Lake Superior, Michigan" (31 x 16.5 inches). This map shows geology in seven colors, as well as mineral lands and mines. 3) "Geological map of Isle Royale, Lake Superior, Michigan" (25.5 x 18 inches). This map updates Jackson's geological map of 1847, and pinpoints numerous mineral-rich sites and mines. *Important note: These are NOT the three maps found in the authors' map portfolio, separately issued in 1851. ***CONDITION: A complete, near-Fine, exceptionally clean copy in the original embossed and blind-decorated brown cloth. The spine ends are well preserved and the gilt lettering on the backstrip is particularly crisp and bright. Joints and hinges solid, binding firm. Save for minor offsetting here and there in the text, the pages, plates and illustrations are fresh, clean and bright. The three colored maps are very clean, with vivid colors and expert reinforcement to tiny splits. No previous ownership indications. This is one of the most handsome copies of this report that I have seen, and it is exceedingly scarce with the three colored maps. BMNH 2172. Prime 20. Hazen 3940 (in part). Marcou 364, 365, 366.
