Under his leadership, the Coast Survey’s operations grew significantly, expanding from nine to seventeen states as it surveyed the Gulf and West Coasts. Bache ran meticulous studies relating to ocean currents, tides, and the earth’s magnetic field, endeavors which provided in-depth knowledge about U.S. coastal geography.

Cram (1842-1928) got his start in cartography following the Civil War when he moved to Evanston, Illinois to clerk for his uncle, a merchant by the name of Rufus Blanchard. Prior to the war, Blanchard had found success selling globes, maps, and books along the east coast until postwar disruption drove him west. Cram had served in the Union Army during the war and supposedly carried out cartographic duties for none other than Ulysses S. Grant. Cram and Blanchard eventually became business partners, founding Blanchard \u0026amp; Cram in 1867. Two years later, Cram would take over the firm in its entirety, moving it to nearby Chicago and rebranding as the George F. Cram Company. Cram also altered his business model, becoming a supplier for traveling book salesmen. However, after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 destroyed the business, Cram started anew as the Cram Map Depot and returned to selling maps and atlases as he had while in business with Blanchard.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom 1875 onwards, the Cram Map Depot produced numerous atlases and railroad maps of the United States, as well as atlases of Europe documenting the First World War.

Now with significant printing experience under their belt, the three men embarked on several publishing endeavors, capitalizing on the massive success of Chicago’s railroad industry by printing tickets, timetables, and railroad guides. Rand, McNally \u0026amp; Co.’s cartographic enterprise began as an offshoot of their existing publishing business; it was not until 1872 that the company printed its first map, a wax engraving that appeared in the company’s December \u003cem\u003eRailroad Guide\u003c\/em\u003e. Thanks to the low cost and ease of production associated with wax engravings, the firm quickly became the largest commercial publisher in the United States and to this day continues to produce quality atlases, maps, and globes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Antiquarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33993501900939,"sku":"306015","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0389\/6416\/6795\/products\/Wyoming_2a44b21b-9b57-4eea-9e0c-da5dfe47c4c1.jpg?v=1631124785"},{"product_id":"south-dakota-cram-1909","title":"South Dakota: Cram 1909","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle: \u003c\/strong\u003eSouth Dakota\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e George F.

Cram (1842-1928) got his start in cartography following the Civil War when he moved to Evanston, Illinois to clerk for his uncle, a merchant by the name of Rufus Blanchard. Prior to the war, Blanchard had found success selling globes, maps, and books along the east coast until postwar disruption drove him west. Cram had served in the Union Army during the war and supposedly carried out cartographic duties for none other than Ulysses S. Grant. Cram and Blanchard eventually became business partners, founding Blanchard \u0026amp; Cram in 1867. Two years later, Cram would take over the firm in its entirety, moving it to nearby Chicago and rebranding as the George F. Cram Company. Cram also altered his business model, becoming a supplier for traveling book salesmen. However, after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 destroyed the business, Cram started anew as the Cram Map Depot and returned to selling maps and atlases as he had while in business with Blanchard.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom 1875 onwards, the Cram Map Depot produced numerous atlases and railroad maps of the United States, as well as atlases of Europe documenting the First World War. Though it underwent a few revisions, the company’s enormously successful \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eAtlas of the World\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e remained in print for over 70 years. In 1920, Cram finally retired at the age of 79, selling the business to E.A. Peterson’s National Map Company. While Peterson initially incorporated Cram’s business into his own company, upon Cram’s death in 1928 he renamed it to the George F. Cram Company, the name it bore until the company closed its doors in 2012.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Antiquarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33993508978827,"sku":"306016","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0389\/6416\/6795\/products\/southdakotacram1909_bebf50f6-469b-4c01-8b07-352426626dc3.jpg?v=1631124453"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0389\/6416\/6795\/collections\/US.png?v=1628694431","url":"https:\/\/theantiquarium.com\/collections\/united-states.oembed?page=13","provider":"The Antiquarium Antique Maps | Quality Custom Picture Framing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
