L.H. Evert’s 1887 Map of Abilene, Kansas
In stock
We are very excited to offer you this original map of the city of Newton and Environs, Harvey County, Kansas. This map was issued as part of L.H. Evert’s & Co “Official State Atlas of Kansas” and was very large and printed on a parchment type of paper as compared to the hundreds of other maps in the atlas. It shows schools, important buildings, churches, post offices, railroads, roads, subdivisions, and the names of property owners of the large undeveloped properties in town. This was the first official state atlas of Kansas. Without a doubt, this atlas is one of the rarest and largest state atlases ever produced in the United States with over 340 pages of maps and views. Until now I have only had a handful of these wonderful maps in over 40 years of selling old maps.
