"Diagram of the Public Surveys in Iowa", General Land Office

This is a great map that locates, with hand coloring, the regions of coal, iron and lead deposits. Good detail of existing railroads includes the Dubuque and Pacific, Cedar Rapids and Missouri River, Mississippi and Missouri, and the Burlington and Missouri River. Names each county and locates the seat. Signed in the plate by Jos. S. Wilson, Commissioner for the General Land Office.
