About this book

Lists of Elevations Principally in That Portion of the United States West of the Mississippi is a reference compilation by Henry Gannett (1846-1914), the American geographer who served as chief geographer of the United States Geological Survey and as a founding member of the National Geographic Society. Gannett directed the geographical work of the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth United States Censuses and produced the standard official gazetteers and elevation tables of the late nineteenth-century federal mapping programme. This volume gathers elevations of mountains, passes, towns, and survey stations across the trans-Mississippi West, drawing on the surveys of Hayden, King, Powell, and Wheeler that had mapped the public lands in the 1860s and 1870s. The book is a primary source for the early scientific cartography of the American West.

About the author

Henry Gannett

Henry Gannett combined geography, statistics, and federal survey work to turn census returns and place names into usable national records. The U.S. Census Bureau credits him with geography for several censuses and with helping establish both the Board on Geographic Names and major geographic societies. His publications reflect that practical range.
