"Page's Map of New Mexico", Page, H. R.

This large map is a scarce issue of New Mexico Territory by the little-known H.R. Page & Co. firm of Chicago. There are only 12 counties and incomplete surveys, with most settlement clustered in the Rio Grande valley and along the railways. It locates a large array of railroads, roads and trails, lakes and rivers. A rarely seen map that is a worthy addition to any serious New Mexico map collection.

This map was included in Page’s Illustrated Historical Atlas of Wisconsin. Page had purchased the plates from the 1878 edition by Synder, Van Vechten & Company, and expanded the atlas to include thirteen other state maps including this one.
