Rice's Sectional Map Of Dakota. Published by the St. Paul Lithog. & Eng. Co. 1878. St. Paul, Minnesota. Copyright 1875 by G. Jay Rice.

Early Dakota territory map. cf Karrow 11-0559; Wheat 1236 (1872 ed.). This is a later edition of a very scarce map. The first edition appears to be 1872 and is mentioned by Wheat as "perhaps the first major commercial map of that area." This edition says entered in 1875. It features very good detail on the Black Hills, railroad routes and surveys, and the ever expanding counties, towns and township and range surveys (all progressed much further than the description of the 1872 edition by Wheat). The owner of this copy, Mr. C.W. Irish (signed Flandreau, Dakota Terr, Feb 4th, 1879), has added in ms a wonderful assortment of lines indicating rainfall amounts in summer, winter, and for the year. Karrow lists editions of 1872, 1874, 1875, and 1879. He also lists an 1878 "Rice's Township Map of Dakota and the Black Hills." Map is full color by county and folded into dark brown cloth covers 14.5x9.5 stamped with "Rice's Sectional Map Of Dakota" in gold.
