Mapping the Transmississippi West, 1540-1861

"The maps in the cartobibliography are accessible in this index by area, subject, and name, as well as most of Wheat's chapter headings. All indexing is based on the maps in the cartobibliography, not the main text itself. It should be noted that Wheat called his lists the bibliocartography rather than the more commonly used cartobibliography. The more common usage has been retained in this work"--Page 5.
