This is an authentic 1908 map--NOT a recent reproduction


This color map  of Iowa is   dated 1908 on the face.  It was engraved and printed by the  L.L. Poates Engraving Company, New Yorkto accompany a set of reference material published in 1908.  Counties, County Seats, Cities; many Small Towns and Villages; Ports, Military Airfields and Forts; Rivers, Streams, and Lakes; and other topographical features are located on this map. Most of the state's railroads and all of the major railroads are shown in red

The map is printed on medium weight paper, blank on the reverse and with a fold in the center (as issued).  The bordered map area is about 8.5" x 10.5"  with blank margins of between 1/2" to 1 inch all the way around to allow convenient matting.

This is a very attractive older map  and would look beautiful matted and framed. If you want a detailed map showing the state as it was 110 years ago, this is a good one.

The copyright date of "COPYRIGHT, 1908, by Dodd, Mead & Co."  appears on the face of this map, just below the border in the lower-right corner. 

Please check my listings for other possible versions of this map.  One of the delightful and interesting results of the engraving and ink transfer process in lithography is that there can be color variants of the maps which look distinct from each other, even though they were produced by the same engraved plates on the same press. This may be a result of additional passes by one color or another, subtle differences in the ink tone, varying pressure from the pressing of the plates, slight variation in the position of each color plate, or other choices made by the engravers or the printers. The result is that each map's appearance is truly unique.

1) The first image shows the map  cropped without its full margins. The full, blank margins are actually between 1/2" and 1" all the way around. 

2) The second image is a closeup of the area around Des Moines, to show the quality and detail of the engraving .


The following copyright statement  appears on the face of this map .
