This is a heterogeneous collection of old and very rare maps of various parts of the world donated by an estate in Santa Barbara, California. Numbers 1-38 (but no #24). #1 has 20 maps from an atlas; #3 has 22 separate maps. This inventory draws from cartographic analysis by John F. and Beatrice C. Reed, 1984, in the collection case file, which also contains an itemized listing in receipt for the legacy of Margarita P. (Margaret) Cutter, deceased, of Santa Barbara, California. Map #33 is the only solely Southwest U.S. map in collection. Smaller maps are in a flat box; larger items are in a map case drawer. Each of the maps has been inventoried and all but the bound set have been encapsulated.
Administrative information
Acquisition of this collection: The College’s ownership of this collection (accession 1970:02007) is documented by Fort Lewis College President Rexer Berndt's letter to Charles L. Youngman, Librarian, Durango Public Library, Feb. 6, 1970; also, by a memo from the Center’s director, Robert Delaney, to Youngman, Feb. 5, 1970, and court documents regarding the settlement of the Margarita P. Cutter estate in Santa Barbara County, California (5 pages, circa March 25, 1970).
About the organization of this collection: The Center has left the maps in the order in which they were described by President Reed.
Processing information: This guide was produced by Todd Ellison, Certified Archivist, Center of Southwest Studies; the text was last revised on July 10, 2003. Initial data entry was by Tom Schmidt and Melanie Ellison in July 2002.
Photo reproduction and digital access: The 12" x 16" color world map made in Venice in 1776 by Antonio Zatta was photographed in color by Marona Photography on September 11, 1997, for use in the full-color promotional brochure that was used during fundraising for the new Center of Southwest Studies building. Digitization was by Consultant Nik Kendziorski in July 2003, as part of the Center of Southwest Studies' Western Trails grant through the Colorado Digitization Program (as it was formerly known). Stitching of oversize maps (and staff training in such) was by volunteer Ed Lederman in the fall of 2003.
| Through its partnership with the Colorado Digitization Program (CDP -- now the Collaborative Digitization Program) the Center of Southwest Studies has digitized many thousands of images selected from a number of collections, for viewing on the Web for educational purposes and research.

The CDP is supported through a National Leadership Grant to the University of Denver Penrose Library from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (a federal grant-making agency in Washington, D.C., which fosters innovation, leadership and a lifetime of learning, by supporting museums and libraries) with additional assistance from the Colorado State Library, and the Colorado Regional Library Systems. |

The map depicts locations of some Indians/ ethnic groups and communities, and shows California and Greenland as peninsulas.

The sparseness of features on this map (especially physical ones) suggests that this may be a 17th century map or chart. It resembles a Portalano type of chart. Drawings around the edges show the directions of winds. Northern and northwestern North America, western South America, northern Asia, and the Polar regions are unmapped, and Australia is not shown. This is a colorful copy made in 1910 from a map in the city library in Munich. Conical projection.
