Located at the base of the southern tip of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Bakersfield has long been a significant gateway to the Southwest. First settled by Spanish missionaries in the eighteenth century, Bakersfield would not see substantial expansion until the discovery of gold in 1851, and the discovery of oil in 1865 which attracted residents eager to extract these resources. By 1901 Bakersfield had seen a large influx of workers attracted by the increased demand for petroleum products as automobiles spurred the need for greater oil production across the United States. The city had more than triple its population in the latter portion of the late eighteenth century. Bakersfield remains a significant hub for agricultural production and energy extraction.

Illustrated by noted German-born lithographer and artist Augustus Kollner this unique depiction of New Jersey's State Capital and one of the earliest established cities in North America shows Trenton, NJ, in a period of significant growth and transformation. First established in 1679 as a Quaker settlement, Trenton has a rich history and deep connections to America's formation. It was the site of Washington's first victory over Hessian troops in 1776 and continued to play a pivotal role during the War of 1812 and the American Civil War. European immigrants flocked to the city during the nineteenth century, and by the middle of the 1800s, Trenton had experienced a population boom spurred on by thriving pottery and wire rope industries. These immigrants established neighborhoods and communities along cultural lines, and many still exist to this day. Though New Jersey saw no battles during the Civil War, it supplied nearly ninety-thousand troops for the Union Forces and was an essential provider of munitions and agricultural products. Trenton's direct border with Philadelphia was significant as it developed throughout the nineteenth century and became part of the greater Philadelphia municipality. Trenton's location on the Delaware River allowed for a thriving import and export industry, which further diversified Trenton's population. Kollner was based in Philadelphia and became well known for his landscapes with works in the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art. This rare depiction of Trenton is immediately recognizable and transports the viewer back in time, creating an indelible link between past and present.

Produced by the prolific mapmaker Rand Mcnally, this railroad and transportation map of Louisiana in 1896 depicts the state in a time of great transition as reconstruction and the turn of the century approached. The Mississippi River had long been a crucial trade route for getting goods into the midwest. The main entry at New Orleans had kept the iconic American city thriving, and the 1890s were no different. People from across the globe came through the city, and its French roots mixed with local Creole culture had developed into a distinct melting pot found nowhere else. During the Civil War, the capture of the Mississippi by Union forces marked a turning point in the war, and Union victory became apparent due to the significant importance of the river to Confederate forces. The late 20th century saw significant advances in shipbuilding, and the proliferation of locks, levees, and dams along the river started. Much of this engineering occurred to keep the river from shifting into the Atchafalaya River, thus bypassing New Orleans. The acquisition of Louisiana, as negotiated in 1803, included a vast amount of North American territory. France was engaged in multiple conflicts and needed capital to finance these clashes, allowing the new nation to acquire 828,000 sq mi of land for fifteen million dollars. The purchase would become a pivotal part of the American notion of Manifest Destiny and redefine the geography and geopolitical landscape of America. This map is truly an authentic piece of cartographical history.

In the mid-nineteenth century, American settlers moved west as part of a significant migration spurred by the expansion of settlements across Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and California. The iconic Grand Canyon became one of the most notable geologic features encountered on this journey. It would go on to be recognized as one of the most iconic natural features in the United States. This map was published seven years after the Grand Canyon was officially declared a National Park, following efforts for preservation started by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1903. Indigenous peoples inhabited the Canyon for thousands of years before Spanish explorers discovered it in 1540.The Colorado River has carved out the Canyon over nearly two billion years. It has fascinated tourists and geologists alike with its unique features and a climate that varies drastically from the peak to the basin. During the nineteenth century, several attempts to establish mines in the area proved unsuccessful due to the rugged terrain and steep cliffs that characterize the Grand Canyon. With a depth of more than one mile and a length of nearly two hundred and eighty miles, the site attracts almost five million tourists annually. This map illustrates the vastness of the remote region of Northern Arizona that is home to the Grand Canyon.

Published four years after Guam was ceded to the United States by Spain, the postal map of the Western Pacific includes the Samoan Islands and Hawaii. As global trade increased, the importance of international mail became crucial to the world economy. The United States' interest in the Western Pacific facilitated the need for the establishment of naval outposts across the vast ocean. The Samoan Islands are an archipelago comprised of nearly 1200 miles and are home to one of the largest Polynesian populations. Europeans first made contact with Samoa in the late eighteenth century, and they were dubbed the Navigator Islands and would be until the 1870s as political interest in the area increased.The area would become one of the central focuses of the American military during World War II as fighting with the Japanese increased in the Pacific Theater. The entire region has been critical to global trade for centuries and bears distinct cultures that retain traditional values and norms influenced by Western culture. British explorer James Cook was the first European to make contact with native Hawaiians in 1778. Hawaii was made an official State in 1959 and is the most recent to join the Union.

Published by the iconic Charles Scribners Sons, a New York-based firm that was founded in 1846, this distinctive illustration of Italy in the late nineteenth century stands as a unique piece of American and Italian cartographical history. The iconic publishing house would expand during its history and would produce some of the greatest American literary works of the twentieth century. Due to its geographic location and proximity to the Mediterranean, Italy has been home to a wide range of cultures, peoples, and governing bodies. By the first century BC, the Roman Empire had become the dominant political and cultural center for the entire Mediterranean Basin and would remain the dominant power for the next two hundred years. The Early Middle Ages saw the fall of the Roman Empire as Europe entered a period of migration and a blending of numerous cultures. By the eleventh century, Rome had re-entered a period of significant prosperity and marked the beginning of the Renaissance. This cultural revolution began in Italy but spread across Europe, producing some of the most influential works in art, literature, philosophy, and music.By the time of this map’s publication, numerous Italian-American communities had been established for decades in New York City and endure to this day. Rapid industrialization in Northern Italy during the latter portions of the nineteenth century had spurred economic growth. However, this would slow following the conclusion of World War I, ultimately leading to the establishment of a Fascist Government in 1922.Our museum quality giclee print comes printed with archival ink on premium heavyweight matte paper.

Comprised of an extensive array of islands, archipelagoes, and Australia, Oceania is a culturally, geographically, and biologically diverse region marked by distinct cultures developed over centuries of oceanic exploration and the eventual colonization of Australia by the British. Europeans first explored the area in the sixteenth century with Portuguese expeditions that reached the Tanimbar Islands west of Papua New Guinea. Captain James Cook would conduct more extensive expeditions throughout Oceania during the eighteenth century and is credited with being the first European Hawaii. The region has a unique blend of economies from major markets in Australia to society that remain largely agrarian and less modern. Further development would occur throughout the twentieth century as the Pacific Theater of World War II caused the extensive establishment of US Naval, Air Force, and Army bases in strategic points across Indonesia and smaller islands that aimed to defeat Japanese forces. Polynesians were granted French citizenship in 1946 following the conclusion of the war and changed the island's status to overseas territory of French Polynesia. The Pacific Islands Forum spawned from the South Pacific Forum in 2000 and represented the political interests of the smaller island nations on a global level. The Central Intelligence Agency began producing geopolitical maps in 1941, and these depictions are considered the most accurate representations. Political and military leaders utilize them to develop policy and strategy. This is an immediately recognizable piece of modern cartographical history that illustrates one of the most unique regions on the planet.Our museum quality giclee print comes printed with archival ink on premium heavyweight matte paper.

Published in a period of relative stability for Central America, this Central Intelligence Agency production depicts the geopolitical boundaries and distinct cultures that distinguish the region from its neighbors, the North and South. The region has long been under European colonial rule. Many nations achieved independence in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, leading to a period of instability and social unrest due to varying economic factors. The distinct blend of indigenous language, traditions, and beliefs has been imbued with European influences since the discovery of North America by European settlers in 1492. Santa Domingo in modern-day Dominican Republic was the first European settlement in 1493 and remains the longest inhabited European settlement in Central America.Spain began to colonize the Americas further in 1609 and established numerous Catholic Churches throughout the region, which would become the predominant religion for the subsequent centuries. As part of the Mesoamerican biodiversity hotspot, Central America is home to a wide range of flora and fauna and contains some of the most active fault lines on the planet. Bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Caribbean to the East, the coastal regions of Central America stand in stark contrast to the interior geography, which is marked by tropical rainforests and mountainous features.CIA maps are regarded as the most accurate geopolitical depictions and are used by political and military leaders to develop and implement policy and strategy.

The Siege began following the battles of Lexington and Concord as the Continental Army started minor skirmishes in the city and began to cut off British supply lines into the city from both land and sea. Boston was the political center of the American Revolution as well as the site of the Boston Massacre in 1770, which began the calls for independence from Colonial rule. This map was published by Sir Thomas Hyde Page and is unique in that it’s a British work created during the revolution and not in the years preceding it. It also bears an inscription detailing the British retreat to Nova Scotia and the of the Battery at Fort Hill. Boston remains one of the most iconic American cities, and its role in shaping the political, cultural, and economic future of the United States cannot be underestimated.

The rich details and technical analytics present in this unique depiction differentiate to from other styles of cartographical pieces. The distinctive style is immediately recognizable and informs the viewer with historical data such as average rainfall as well as high and low-temperature records. These maps define thirteen zones and are widely used for gardening, landscaping, and agricultural purposes. The United States Department of Agriculture produces these maps annually, and the first official publication was completed in 1960. Though, attempts at creating a map of these zones have been attempted since 1927. Advances in meteorological technology along with other significant developments like computers, accurate digital thermometers, and satellite imagery would cause considerable gains in the development of these pieces, which were completely revamped in 1990. This depiction was completed after another overhaul by the Arbor Day Foundation in 2006 further altered the aesthetic and performed revisions based on current data. This map was also the first update since 2006 that increased the zones by two to reflect better definitions for tropical and semitropical plants and include Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Zone boundaries were also shifted in the 2012 publication to reflect changes to regional climates and seasonality.This publication is also interesting as the zones reflected higher temperatures; a half zone warmer than the 1990 map. These unique pieces of cartographical history are among some of the lesser-known works, though they offer an interesting perspective on changing weather patterns. They are also an invaluable tool for arborists and horticulturalists.Our museum quality giclee print comes printed with archival ink on premium heavyweight matte paper.

Produced by prominent Icelandic naturalist and geologist Þorvaldur Thoroddsen, this unique map of the Nordic Island shows its wide geological diversity and volcanic features. Iceland is the only portion of the Mid Atlantic Ridge that rises above the Atlantic Ocean and features a central plateau that is home to a volcano field that is nearly constantly erupting. Following the conclusion of the Napoleonic Wars, Denmark and Norway became separate nations, and Iceland remained under Danish rule. Independence movements were growing throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth century. In 1874 Denmark granted Iceland its own constitution with limited home governance. In 1918 Denmark granted Iceland a twenty-five-year period of independence in a personal union with the Dutch. In 1944, Iceland formally became a republic and entered a period of significant economic expansion and prosperity. Thoroddsen studied geology in Copenhagen and was inspired to create this depiction to highlight the natural geological diversity found on the Island. Prior to this publication, the vast wilderness and uninhabited regions of the country had been largely unmapped or documented. Thoroddsen’s depiction is the first to not focus on the populated areas of the country. He would go on to write several books regarding the unique geology of Iceland.

Published only eight years after Montana achieved statehood, this depiction of the iconic region shows it in a period of significant growth, transformation, and prosperity. The Homestead Act of 1862 offered free land to any settler who could establish farms or ranches on up to 160 acres. By the 1880s, the state capital, Helena, had more millionaires than any other American city. The Desert Land Act of 1877 further increased settlement throughout the state as eager immigrants could get up to 640 acres of land for twenty-five cents per acre. This attracted scores of cattle and sheep ranchers, which would become one of the most prominent economic drivers for Montana for the following century.As the nation neared the turn of the century, the establishment of a complete railroad system was almost complete, and this expansion of access and ease of transportation allowed more immigrants to reach the remote state to start small communities based around agricultural exports. Montana did not see settlement begin until the 1850s and remains one of the most sparsely populated regions in the United States. The region was first officially recognized as the eastern portion of the Oregon Territory, which was established in 1848. One of the most notable natural spaces in the United States, Yellowstone National Park, was created in 1872 and draws thousands of tourists annually.

Published in the same year as the Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence, this early depiction of Philadelphia is a historically significant piece of early American cartographic history. Europeans began settling the region in the early seventeenth century, with Dutch colonies being established on the banks of the Delaware River. These initial settlements were followed by immigrants from Sweden, Finland, and England who would develop a peaceful relationship with surrounding indigenous peoples, resulting in Philadelphia's rapid growth and prosperity through the following centuries. By the time of this publication, it was the most influential American city. Both its political, cultural, and economic significance as well as its geographic location made it the center for American Revolutionary forces both during and leading up to the Revolutionary War. The city was the site of several battles during the conflict, and British General Howe occupied the city in 1777. By the 1750s, Philadelphia had surpassed Boston to become the largest city with a thriving port that exported goods back to England. Philadelphia was the United States capital from 1790 to 1800 as the District of Columbia was under construction. Benjamin Easburn was a noted surveyor of the time, and this map's minimal aesthetic and classic style distinguishes it from more ornate works of the time. The late eighteenth century was perhaps the most formative period for what would become the United States as it gained independence from Colonial British rule and embarked on a bold path of democratic governance and increased prosperity.Our museum quality giclee print comes printed with archival ink on premium heavyweight matte paper.
