Additional Information Produced by founding member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, Alfred Craven, this unique depiction of California and Nevada in the late nineteenth century bears a classic style with a distinctive aesthetic that is characteristic of the era. Craven supervised the construction of the lake reservoir in Central Park, and he was a pioneer of Civil Engineering throughout the 1800s. His work is considered influential for numerous civic projects completed during the time. His career in surveying is noted for its incredible detail and accuracy, particularly the improvements he made to modern sanitation systems in urban areas. The completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869 increased access and expansion to California and Nevada, and eager immigrants from across Western Europe, England, Germany, as well as China and Japan flocked to the region for agricultural work, thriving ports in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and a vast series of mining operations in Nevada. California became accessible in a week’s time with the line’s completion reducing travel times significantly and illustrating the need for further rail expansion across the Southwest. Nevada is officially known as the Silver State because of the discovery of the precious metal, which was the primary economic driver during the latter portion of the nineteenth century. This is an authentic piece of cartographical history that links the viewer to the past and present. Nevada was one of only two states to gain inclusion into the Union during the American Civil War and became the 36th state in 1864. Our museum quality giclee print comes printed with archival ink on premium heavyweight matte paper. Shipped in a sturdy cardboard tube your print will arrive ready to be framed. This eye-catching vintage map reproduction print makes the perfect gift for anyone that loves history and imagery.
