This cartobibliography consists of eighteenth and nineteenth century maps housed in the Archives and Special Collections Department of the University Libraries at the University of South Dakota. The maps selected focus on the Northern Great Plains with special emphasis on South Dakota. Also included are select maps of Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, Iowa, and Nebraska. Entries are arranged chronologically by year of publication and then by map title. Most entries include publisher, date of publication if known, scale and dimensions of the map. For call numbers, consult the University Libraries online catalog. This cartobibliography compiled by John Van Balen, circa 2000.
Over the next 2 or 3 years, I want to play around with this cartobibliograpy whenever I need a reward for completing other tasks at work. I hope to add call numbers and to correct typographical or formatting errors that may have crept into the list over the years. Let me know if you see anything I should add, delete or change.
