These three fascinating geological renderings of the area from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean derive from the investigations of Jules Marcou a French geologist who worked extensively in North America. In 1853 under the service of the U.S. government he became the first geologist to cross the United States as part of the Pacific railroad exploration headed by A.W. Whipple that was then underway.

Two of the pieces presented in geological cross-section the maps color-coded to indicate the type and age of the rock along the river as per a key in the upper left.

The third selection is presented as a map showing the area between Columbus and Los Angeles along the 35th parallel. On this piece relief is shown through symbols and color-coding. The maps also provides the locations of various creeks forts Indian territories and intersecting rivers. The three maps are in good condition with original folds as issued. Some tears at folds.
