Description
1894 ALASKA California 18 MAPS United States Geodetic Surveys State Boundaries
Throughout the 19th-century, the United States government published countless reports and surveys on natural history of America. One of the best was the 1894 report “The U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey” – an enormous report of the state of projects and fieldwork in the United States. The reports found in this work include descriptions of:
Hydrographic examinations of coasts
Topographical survey of the shoreline of Boston Harbor
Triangulation of lands in New Jersey toward the Delaware River
Identifying bounding lines between Pennsylvania and Delaware
Surveys in Alaska
Mount St. Elias, stations in Yakutat Bay and Japonski Island
Territory division determination in California, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico – before many of them gained statehood.
