Mapping the West: America's Westward Movement 1524-1890
by Paul E. Cohen

Mapping the West, a stunning collection of the finest maps ever made of the American West, chronicles the cartographic history of the western United States from 1524 to 1890. The sixty-five maps come from collections throughout the world and many are being shown for the first time, most for the first time in color.

The book begins with European efforts to comprehend their far-flung colonies. Also considered are maps by Lewis and Clark, of the California gold rush, the transcontinental railroad, and the Civil War, to mention only a few of the areas discussed in the book's eleven chapters, which chart the heart and history of the American migration west.
