1882 Geologic Map of the Western Part of the Plateau Province
DESCRIPTION
A spectacular geologic map of much of Utah and northern Arizona from Clarence Edward Dutton's "Atlas to Accompany the Monograph on the Tertiary History of the Grand Canyon District." The atlas in which this map appeared was published by the talented Jewish lithographer, Julius Bein whom immigrated to the United States from Germany sometime around 1848.
The map covers what is arguably the most naturally beautiful portion of America, from the Grand Canyon to Great Salt Lake, which includes present-day Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park. From alpine mountains to deep desert canyons, this section of land is some of most variable topography and geology found anywhere in the world. The map is colored by the earliest geological classifications of the region, Additionally, many names of mountains, deserts, valleys, plateaus, canyons, and cliffs are published for the first time.
