A large lithographed map in bright colors, about 21 1/2 x 27 1/2 inches, and is in very good condition with light toning at some folds. The map is dated 1878 and was included in the Hawaiian governor's report for 1906, published in 1907. The upper part of the left margin is narrower than the bottom, due to previous insertion ion a book. Shipped folded. Very good. Map.

"Andrew B. Graham Co., Lithographers, Washington, D. C." in lower map margin.

"Triangulation, Topography, Boundaries and Map by J. F. Brown and M. D. Monsarrat. Traced from Govt. Survey Reg. Map no. 1394 by H. E. Newton, September, 1906" on the map lower left quadrant.

This genuine, antique map is fresh to the market. We have removed it from the House of Representatives 59th Congress, 2d Session, Document No. 5: Annual Reports of the Department of the Interior for 1906. It has never before been offered for sale and represents a brilliant opportunity for someone to acquire this rare map for their collection.

This is the first modern comprehensive map of Lanai. The map uses color and other markings to distinguish land use. It marks out harbors, a few roads, a school house, trails, and a few settlements. The rugged nature of the island is depicted by topographical lines.

This historic map will compliment any collection of Hawaiiana.
