- Note
- 1st edition 1836, copyright 1836; this is likely the third edition. Scarce, not in Phillips. This map is not listed in any collections; it an early and important map of Arkansas, first published the year (1836) that Arkansas became a state. James Callan compiled the map but little else is known about him. The map shows Land Districts and offices, Military Bounty Lands and Military Townships "unfit for cultivation," Steam Boat Routes, and much other political and physical detail. In the southwest corner of the state the boundary line is west of the final boundary and a line even further west is listed as "Proposed Boundary of Arkansas." See Heaston Catalogue 11 #16 for a copy of the 1837 edition described as "one of the few early Arkansas pocket maps." Full color, folded into beautiful stamped burgundy leather covers 12.5x7.5 with "Mitchell's Map Of Arkansas" in gilt.
