Title Index The panoramic map was a popular cartographic form used to depict U.S. and Canadian cities and towns during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Known also as bird's-eye views, perspective maps, and aero views, panoramic maps are nonphotographic representations of cities portrayed as if viewed from above at an oblique angle. Although not generally drawn to scale, they show street patterns, individual buildings, and major landscape features in perspective. The majority of items presented here are documented in PANORAMIC MAPS of Cities in the United States and Canada Albert Ruger, Thaddeus Mortimer Fowler, Lucien R. Burleigh, Henry Wellge, and Oakley H. Bailey who prepared more than fifty-five percent of the panoramic maps in the Library of Congress. Additional panoramic maps will be added throughout 1998.

Suggested Reading List Originally home to Indian tribes of the Great Plains, the Iowa region was first visited by Europeans when French explorers camped along the Mississippi River in 1673. But this land remained largely undiscovered until the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804-06 following the Louisiana Purchase, which included present-day Iowa, by President Thomas Jefferson. The U.S. Army built Fort Madison the first fort in Iowa in 1808. While fur companies established trading posts on the Des Moines, Mississippi and Missouri rivers, the region remained Indian land, officially closed to permanent settlement. As part of the treaty that ended the Black Hawk War in 1832, the United States purchased the eastern portion of Iowa from the Sauk and Fox Indians and pioneers began moving into the region. Dubuque, the oldest city in Iowa, was settled the following year. Congress created the Territory of Iowa in 1838. It became the 29th state in 1846 with a population of 102,000 after voters adopted its final geographic boundaries. In 1853, New York publisher Horace Greeley advised Josiah Grinnell, "Go West, young man, go West and grow up with the country!" Grinnell, a Congregationalist minister, heeded this advice and settled in Iowa where he established the town of Grinnell.
