Reprint of the 1963 Institute of Historical Cartography original. MAPPING THE TRANSMISSISSIPPI WEST is a monumental and exceptionally thorough work that is unlikely to be surpassed.

Wheat discusses each map, showing the origins of its date and weighing its significance and accuracy. He also identifies the atlases and books in which the maps can be found.
