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. Covering the Green River Basin from Fortification Peak in Wyoming to Piedmont in Utah, this geological map spans the tri-state zone where south-western Wyoming, north-western Colorado and north-eastern Utah meet. Colour geology and paired cross-sections below summarize basin structure, drainage and mineral terrain.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53281282982235,"sku":"P-9-001050","price":1000.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001050a.jpg?v=1780600522","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/products\/40th-parallel-survey-map-ii-green-river-basin-geological-clarence-king-1876-p-9-001050","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
