Description:
Fairchild Aerial Surveys, Los Angeles, 1950; Large circa 1950 Fairchild Surveys aerial photo of Palm Springs, California, from a time when it was a much cherished rural outpost, and long before today’s ghastly urban sprawl. Of special interest is the inclusion of both of Palm Springs’ historic airports, each clearly visible in the photo: the original Palm Springs Air Port (Stevens Airfield), built in the early twenties, and the subsequent airfield, constructed approximately 1 mile to the east, which began construction in 1939 as the Palm Springs Army Airfield and gradually evolved into the present day Palm Springs Airport. Image size 20" long by 10" high, covering a land area of approximately 9 miles by 5 miles. Fairchild imprint and North indicator at upper right corner. From the office of Culver Nichols, legendary Palm Springs realtor who was instrumental in the movement to incorporate the city in 1936, and a significant figure in the Palm Springs area real estate boom.

Description:
New York, Richmond, Chicago, & Toledo: H. H. Hardesty, 1885. Original color lithographed map printed by Rand, McNally & Company, Engravers and published in HARDESTY'S HISTORICAL AND GEOGRAPHICAL ENCYCLOPEDIA: SPECIAL VIRGINIA EDITION. 19 3/8 inches by 13 1/4 inches on a 21" X 14 1/2" sheet. The map depicts the Territory of Utah in its final form--large areas had been removed and ceded to Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming, and Nebraska since Utah became a U. S. Territory in 1850. The issue of polygamy prevented statehood until it was finally granted in 1896. This map features railroads and topography and uses color to set off counties from each other. Unlike most atlas maps of the period, this map identifies most small towns. The map is guaranteed to be moe than 135 years old. The map is in about very good condition: generally clean and bright, with slight toning of paper and one faint water stain near the center-left edge of the map.. Original. Single Sheet. Very Good-.
