King (1842–1901), appointed geologist-in-charge at only twenty-five and later the first Director of the U.S. Geological Survey, oversaw what Rumsey calls a “magnificent” atlas: a pioneering attempt to map the American West in one broad continuous cross-section. This first geological map covers the Rocky Mountain sector from Cheyenne west to Fortification Peak, embracing southern Wyoming and adjoining northern Colorado. Printed in colour, it differentiates formations across mountain fronts, basins and uplands, with two geological cross-sections below.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53281282916699,"sku":"P-9-001049","price":1120.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001049a.jpg?v=1780600523","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/products\/40th-parallel-survey-map-i-rocky-mountains-geological-clarence-king-1876-p-9-001049","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
