"In 1853 [Walling] entered on his life work as a cartographer, and between that date and 1870 did a great work in the preparation of maps. His work extended over a large part of the Northern states. He prepared and published the well-known map of Massachusetts, which was the product in part of Borden's survey and in part the result of his own painstaking labor. About 1870 he became a professor of mathematics in Lafayette college, which office he retained for two years. For some years thereafter he was an assistant in the United States coast survey. Having acquired an interest in geological problems, he then became an officer of the national geological survey" (obituary, Cambridge Tribune, 1888). Hitchcock "served as New Hampshire State Geologist from 1868 to 1878 and taught at Dartmouth College from 1868 to 1908, holding the Hall Professorship of Geology and Mineralogy. Hitchcock's survey produced a three volume work, 'The Geology of New Hampshire' (1874-1878) and the folio, 'Atlas accompanying the report on the geology of New Hampshire.' The maps in the atlas comprise the first detailed, comprehensive map of the bedrock and surfacial geology of the state. Hitchcock used to name the rock units and designated their 'type localities.' Most of these rock formation names are still in use. In addition to geology, he contributed to a wide range of fields including fieldwork in paleontology, bedrock and glaciology, economic geology, and volcanology" (Dartmouth College Special Collections Library online).

1st Edition. "Fine folding coloured lithographed wall map (63 4/8 x 63 4/8 inches), in 36 sections laid down on cartographic linen, edges silked (browned, some folds beginning to separate, one or two section edges a bit frayed); preserved in a contemporary brown morocco backed marbled paper boards portfolio, linen ties (rebacked to style). First edition thus, showing Boston and the surrounding counties of Massachusetts at the end of the Civil War, Walling had issued a similar map in 1860. Walling was "arguably the most accomplished and interesting American mapmaker of the mid-late 19th century. His output was astonishing for its scope and quality, setting new and higher standards for others to emulate. Equally striking was the sheer volume of his output: During a 40-year career he was responsible for at least 117 largescale maps of American towns and counties, nearly 20 state maps and atlases, substantial contributions to the work of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey and the U.S. Geological Survey, and important academic publications His earliest published works were maps ofProvidence, Rhode Island and Northbridge, Massachusetts, both published in Providence in 1849 with Samuel Barrett Cushing, a civil engineer and Walling's early employer. In or around 1850 he established himself on his own and moved to Boston, relocating in 1856 to New York City as his business expanded. Between 1849 and 1857 he produced at least 48 maps of towns in eastern and central Massachusetts, as well as 12 of towns in Maine, New Hampshire and Rhode Island. Interestingly none were published by Walling himself: those issued prior to 1852 bear the imprints of private publishers, or businessmen, while thereafter almost all were published "by authority of the town." "Walling's town maps are at a large scale hitherto seen only on maps of the most important American cities- generally somewhere between 1:12,000 and 1:15,000. This enables them to delineate ward or school district boundaries; topographical features such as meadows, wetlands, woodlands and elevations; the routes of roads and railroads; the locations of government buildings, schools and businesses; and the names of land owners. The Massachusetts maps typically note the town's incorporation date, population, and total acreage as well as a breakdown of the area occupied by land, roads, and water. The acreage data is an important clue to the origin of these maps: Massachusetts assessed taxes to its towns based on land valuations, so many of the maps were commissioned for administrative purposes by local governments" (Michael Buehler in "The Portolan", Sprin 2008, pages 22-33).".…

Very good. Professionally restored and laid down on fresh linen. Size 25 x 33.75 Inches. A scarce 1850 Henry Francis Walling map of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and Kittery, Maine. Walling began publishing separately issued town plans on his own account in 1850, making this one of his earliest maps. Moreover, of Walling's nearly 150 separately issued town plans, this is one of the largest scale and most highly detailed. A Closer Look With a scale of 1: 3960, Walling meticulously maps nearly every building in both Portsmouth and Kittery, many of which are labeled according to the property owner. Civil, religious, and government buildings are distinguished from residential properties by being rendered as darker blocks. Several sites are of note, such as Frederick Fernald and William Pettigrew's Shipyard on Badger's Island (established 1844), the Portsmouth Athenaeum, Brick Market, the Boston and Portland Railroad Depot, and more. The Kittery Navy Yard is exceptionally well delineated, with buildings noted according to location and purpose. There are two vignettes, one a River view of Portsmouth from Freeman's Point, and another view of the Navy Yard from Central Wharf. An inset map appears in the lower left detailing the Portsmouth Harbor vicinity (1 : 80000). This map has several manuscript annotations, most of which are faded. These include the identification of the Main-New Hampshire border on the Piscataqua River, notations in Kittery, and an unreadable annotation in the upper right, as well as several smaller notes. Publication History and Census This map was drawn by Henry F. Walling based upon earlier survey work supplemented by Walling's own surveys. It was published by Charles Warren Brewster in 1850, in the same year that representatives met to write New Hampshire's Constitution, suggesting that Brewster, who was a member of the Constitutional Committee, may have published this to capitalize on feelings of regional pride and New Hampshire solidarity.
