Several leaves torn some with tape repairs, corner creases, edge wear, stains, cigarette burns, title company pencil and ink annotations. As no publication date is printed on the maps, we have concluded 1970 thus: Kroll moved from the printed location on Second Avenue to new quarters on Sixth in 1975, 1960s highway completions are present, and annotations appear to be dated from 1970. Though well-used this volume is complete. Shipping expense will exceed the standard shipping cost applied at check-out. We can ship USPS Media Rate.

Bound in embossed black cloth-covered hinged boards, with metal screw posts, gilt title and insignia stamped on front board. Leaves are tabbed numerically to correspond to index. Two tabs are lacking and two are loose. A couple index leaves have edgewear, one with loss not affecting text. Faint mustiness, with light scuffs to covers. Although the atlas lacks a publication date, as usual, we've ascribed the date to 1974, for three reasons. One, the King County Administration Building ("the Waffle Iron"), built in 1972, is present. Two, Kroll's office is listed as Second Avenue; in 1975 they moved to new quarters, on Sixth Ave. Three, the site of the future Kingdome, which opened in 1976, is presented unnamed as "King County Municipal Stadium." Though well-used this volume is complete and the plates are vibrant with color. Shipping for this large heavy volume will exceed standard shipping costs. We can ship USPS Media Rate, and will charge for postage only.

Very good. Exhibits wear along original fold lines. Verso repairs to fold separations and at fold intersections. Exhibits a small area of infill at a fold intersection. Size 25.5 x 37.5 Inches. An impressive piece, this is a c. 1940 Kroll Map Company map of Alaska. The map illustrates the territory before it became a state (1959) and just prior to World War II (1939 - 1945), in which Alaska played a significant role. Coverage extends from Siberia to the Yukon Territory, and from the Arctic Ocean and the town of Barrow to Unalaska. Cities and towns are identified throughout, including Anchorage, Juneau, Seward, and Fairbanks. Road Network The map lavishes attention on the state's road network. Roads are illustrated in several different ways, based upon quality. Some are denoted by solid parallel red lines, while others, like the Valdez-Fairbanks Auto Road, wagon roads, and sled roads, a variety of black lines. The Valdez-Fairbanks Road is solid black, while the sled roads are illustrated using parallel dashed lines. Other Transportation Networks and Resources Proposed air routes through Alaska, which must have been a priority given the global political climate of 1940, are marked by solid red lines. Alaska's seemingly unending natural resources are cataloged, with notations for marble, tin, gold, copper, coal, and oil. An inset map of the Aleutian Islands from Umnak to Attu appears along the bottom border. A town index is situated along the right border, locating each by its coordinates. Publication History and Census This map was created and published by the Kroll Map Company c. 1940. We note eight cataloged examples in OCLC, in the collections at Yale University, Harvard College, University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, the Denver Public Library, the University of Alaska Fairbanks, Georgia Southern University, the University of Oklahoma, the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library. We note another example at the David Rumsey Map Collection, Stanford. References: Rumsey 8490.003. OCLC 18613614; 54640726.

Good. Dampstaining to upper left margin. Closed margin tears professionally repaired on verso. Size 19.25 x 32 Inches. A stunning 1945 Kroll Map Company pictorial bird's-eye view map of the Pacific Northwest, the Puget Sound, and the surrounding region, including Seattle, Tacoma, and Olympia, Washington, and Vancouver, British Columbia. Oriented to the west-northwest, the map depicts from the Pacific Ocean to the mountains east of Seattle and from the Canadian Rockies north of Vancouver to Mount Rainier. Individual buildings in Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, and Vancouver are illustrated, including the state capitol building in Olympia. The Seattle-Tacoma airport is also labeled. Both Olympic National Park and Mount Rainier National Park are depicted in detail, with several locations labeled within the park, such as Paradise Inn on the slopes of Mount Rainier. Other buildings in secluded areas are illustrated, among them the Big Four Inn, the Mt. Baker Lodge, and the Harrison Hot Springs. Highways and Shipping The highway network is easily discernible, with routes labeled by number and by nickname: National Park Highway, the Pacific Highway, and the Olympic Highway. Railroads are also illustrated and labeled, including the Northern Pacific Railroad and the Great Northern Railroad. Vancouver Island is identified, along with the Strait of Juan de Fuca, bays, points, and other coastal locations. Several ships are illustrated in the Strait of Juan de Fuca or the Pacific, on their way to or from Puget Sound, on the 'Great Circle Route to the Orient', the route to Hawaii and Australia, or possibly South America. A compass rose, indicating orientation is situated in the upper right, with a mermaid at the center holding a trident functional as the compass needle. The Pictorial Border The map's border adds to its charm. Along the sides are Lodgepole Pines, trees native to the Pacific Northwest. In the corners, Native American iconography typical of the region, offers historical context. Vignettes along the top highlight outdoor activities, such as skiing, sailing, tennis, horseback riding, fishing, and hunting. At the bottom, modern technological advances are depicted, including the newest locomotive, trucks for long-haul transportation, factories, and a B-29 Superfortress. Dating This Map Although undated, the inclusion of a B-29 allows us to date this map with accuracy. The B-29 concept was not developed until 1940, with its first flight in 1942, and it was not put into service until May 1944, allowing us to date this map to 1945. Publication History and Census This map was drawn by Edwin Poland, printed by the North Pacific Bank Note Company, and published by the Kroll Map Company of Seattle in 1945. There are at least three states of this map, but probably more, with the first published in 1933 (when the original copyright was filed). The major differences between the two editions are noticeable in the border, where certain vignettes are replaced for later editions. There is also an edition repurposed for advertising with a red arrow at top center. We have also seen a black and white version. We note six examples cataloged in OCLC and are part of the collections at the University of Michigan, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, the University of Arizona, the University of Oregon, the University of Washington, and the Seattle Public Library. There is additionally an example at the David Rumsey Map Collection at Stanford. References: Hornsby, Stephen J., Picturing America: The Golden Age of Pictorial Maps, p. 175. Rumsey 8854.000.
