"The First Comprehensive Survey of Colorado: F.V. Hayden, 1869-1876"

After the Civil War, the U.S. government established four great surveys of the American West, covering much of the region west of the 100th degree of longitude. One of these was F.V. Hayden's survey of Colorado, which when finished made Colorado the best mapped state in the Union, a fact demonstrated in Hayden's great Atlas of Colorado (1878).

Christopher Lane is the founder of Philadelphia Print Shop West and continues to appear as an expert appraiser on the popular PBS television program Antiques Roadshow.
