Colorado Maps

Colorado’s maps often make the state’s dramatic geography legible, showing how mountain passes, rivers, and rail corridors shaped mining camps, towns, and the Front Range cities that followed. Comparing older sheets reveals earlier place names, shifting county lines, and the way early street grids expanded into the urban patterns we recognize today.

Colorado’s gold rush of 1858–1859 helped establish Denver as a supply center and drew newcomers into mining districts along the Front Range. This expansion took place on Indigenous homelands, including those of the Ute, Cheyenne, and Arapaho peoples, and brought conflict and forced displacement. Colorado Territory was organized in 1861, followed by statehood in 1876. Its rectangular outline concealed a much less orderly geography of mountain barriers, river valleys, and scattered mining settlements.

Mapping Colorado required several different approaches. Federal land surveys divided much of the land into townships and sections, while topographic surveys recorded elevations, drainage, and mountain passes. Railroad maps emphasized connections between mining districts, agricultural areas, and commercial centers. As rail lines extended into the mountains, they often followed narrow valleys and crossed carefully chosen passes. These mapping practices explain why a transportation map and a land survey could present strikingly different accounts of the same region.

Comparing historical maps can reveal how Colorado’s communities depended on routes through difficult terrain. Look for towns clustered along waterways, rail junctions that supported growth, and county boundaries that changed as local administration developed. Around Denver and other Front Range communities, comparing older street grids with later development can also help distinguish an early town center from the larger urban area familiar today.

How to Choose the Right Map

Start with the place or subject that matters, then choose the artwork, format, and size that best fit your space and story.

Choose a hometown, favorite destination, family location, military base, park, lake, railroad, or other place that carries a personal connection.

Try searching by a city, county, state, landmark, year, or specific place name.

Look closely at the map year, geographic coverage, orientation, labels, landmarks, and overall visual style. Different maps of the same place can tell very different stories.

Use the product images and zoom tools to inspect streets, names, boundaries, and historic features.

Select an unframed print for flexibility, a ready-to-hang solid wood frame for a finished presentation, or a wrapped canvas for a clean gallery-style appearance.

Framed prints include protective plexiglass and arrive ready to hang.

Consider the wall, furniture, viewing distance, and amount of visual impact you want. Larger maps make striking focal points, while smaller sizes work well in offices, studies, entryways, and grouped displays.

Measure the available wall area before choosing your final print size.

Every map is available in several display options

Choose from museum-quality unframed prints, framed prints with solid wood frames, or 1.5-inch wrapped canvas.

Vintage Wyoming Maps

Wyoming Maps

Wyoming became the 44th state in 1890, and countless beautiful, antique maps illustrate its history. You’ll find a number of old Wyoming state maps in our archives, as well as city maps for Cheyenne (the state’s capital), Green River, and Jackson Hole. We also have beautiful vintage maps of Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park. If you’re looking for a map for a specific Wyoming locale and don’t see it on this page, contact us, and we’ll be happy to check our archives. While our collections of vintage maps are extensive, there are still many more we’re restoring, and chances are we’ll have what you’re seeking. With a population of just under 600,000, Wyoming is the least populated state in the United States. Cheyenne, the state’s capital, is its largest city. It’s also where you’ll find the world’s largest steam locomotive, called the Big Boy Steam Engine (or ol’ Number 4004). The state’s nickname is the Equality State. That’s because Wyoming was the first state to grant women the right to vote. They were also granted the right to hold public office and serve on juries. The law was passed on December 10, 1869. Fittingly, the first woman governor in the nation was elected in Wyoming. When Nellie Tayloe Ross’s husband passed away, she was elected to finish his term and did so from 1925 to 1927. Former U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt later appointed her director of the U.S. Mint. Wyoming is a land of two geographies—its western half features the Rocky Mountains, while its eastern half consists of the High Plains, where it’s drier and windier. The federal government owns about half of the state’s land, including the popular tourist destinations of Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park. The federal government also owns national monuments, forests, historic sites, fish hatcheries, and wildlife refuges throughout Wyoming. Wildlife is prominent in Wyoming—you’ll find buffalo, black bears, grizzlies, bighorn sheep, and pronghorn. Red-tailed hawks, mountain bluebirds, and prairie falcons are some of the birds you might see flying overhead. And along the ground, it’s toads, frogs, and salamanders. With so many wide-open spaces in Wyoming, plus Yellowstone and Grand Teton, it’s no surprise that tourism plays a big part in the state’s economy. Other prominent industries in the state involve the extraction of natural minerals (i.e., coal, oil, and natural gas) and agriculture (i.e., hay, livestock, sugar beets, wheat, wool, and barley). Wyoming is the top producer of coal in the United States. Famous names who hail from Wyoming include actor Jesse Garcia, Larry Wilcox, and artist Jackson Pollock, known for his abstract and surrealist paintings. And then there are the celebrities who weren’t born there but adore it enough to purchase a home in Wyoming. Sandra Bullock, RuPaul Charles, Uma Thurman, Tiger Woods, Pippa Middleton, Brad Pitt, Matthew McConaughey, and Harrison Ford are just a handful of the stars who have bought property in the state.

Vintage Nebraska Maps

Nebraska Maps

The midwestern state of Nebraska, known for its farming and agriculture, became a state in 1867. Today, there are countless vintage maps that spotlight the history of its cities, counties, and regions. In our archives, you’ll find old maps for the cities of Lincoln, Kearney, Nebraska City, Omaha, and Norfolk. Plus, we have maps for the counties of Lincoln, Jefferson, Burt, Adams, Wayne, Dakota, Antelope, Hamilton, Howard, and Stanton. And we also have beautiful state maps, such as a 1931 Nebraska map that’s been digitally restored on museum-quality paper with archival ink. To browse our collection of vintage Nebraska maps, use the menu in the upper right of this page to sort by popularity, average rating, latest additions, or price. If you’re looking for a specific Nebraska map that’s not available here, contact us. We will gladly check our archives for you. In Nebraska, agriculture (predominately cattle production) is the state's #1 industry. Beef production touches just about every Nebraskan in some way, and interestingly, the cow to human ratio in the state is approximately 3.5 cows per person. The cattle industry began in Nebraska in the late 1800s. The state’s vast prairies attracted early settlers. They discovered the prairies were perfect for cattle grazing, and once word got out, the population grew fast. Nebraska is also home to business giants like Berkshire Hathaway (led by CEO Warren Buffet), Union Pacific Railroad, TD Ameritrade, and outdoor retailer Cabela's. Although Nebraska is often overlooked as a travel destination, it has plenty of character, unique sights, and natural attractions. For example, the Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium in Omaha is a fantastic place to visit because it's where you can experience the world's largest indoor desert, indoor jungle, and nocturnal exhibit. You’ll find picture-perfect scenery at the Chimney Rock National Historic Site. It features a 480-foot dramatic rock spire formation that's about 25 million years old. In the mid-1800s, pioneers used it as a landmark while heading westward. Railroad enthusiasts won't want to miss the Golden Spike Tower that looks over Bailey Yard, the world's largest railroad yard. And for those who love quirky roadside attractions, Nebraska is where Carhenge (a duplicate of Stonehenge created with cars) is located. When it comes to living in Nebraska, if small-town life appeals to you, there are plenty of places in the state for you to consider putting down your roots. Most of the state's cities, about 89 percent of them, have fewer than 3,000 residents. If you prefer a more urban lifestyle, there's Nebraska's capital, Lincoln, and the larger city of Omaha. Famous people from Nebraska include dancer and actor Fred Astaire, former U.S. president Gerald Ford, actress Hilary Swank, and civil rights activist Malcolm X. Finally, did you know the official soft drink of Nebraska is Kool-Aid? A man named Edwin Elijah Perkins invented Kool-Aid in 1927 in Hastings, Nebraska. If you visit the Hastings Museum, there's an exhibit that explores the origin of Kool-Aid and includes memorabilia and artifacts.
