Agustus Koch's birdseye map of Salt Lake City, Utah [gmap] in 1870.
This is not only one of my favorite Augustus Koch pieces, it might be one of my favorite birdseye maps, period. The design is dominated by the underpopulated street grid; speaking volumes not only to the ambition that was such a part of the American West, but to the desire to bring order to it. Great piece.

Hello, I’d like to have a print of this map made. Can you explain what the quality issues might be?
I’ve emailed you previously about anther map and never heard back–perhaps it went into my spam folder. I hope to hear from you!
