1852 1^st ed Owen’s Geological Survey MAPS Fossils Wisconsin Iowa Minnesota Lakes

A scarce and significant 19th-century publication, this illustrated volume stems from David Dale Owen’s landmark geological survey of Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota—an achievement that cemented his reputation in the field. Released in 1852, it includes 15 engraved plates alongside 21 maps, consisting of depictions of fossils, rock strata, animal remains, and detailed charts. Notably, these detailed maps and illustrations originally appeared as a companion to Owen’s primary report titled, Report of a Geological Survey of Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota; and Incidentally of a Portion of Nebraska Territory. Made under Instructions from the United States Treasury Department.
