Edward F. Beale (1822-1893) had quite a career in the West including Indian Agent, surveyor and camel driver. His most lasting contribution was as a road builder. This map resulted from the survey of a road across present-day Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico. His route roughly follows the Canadian River and closely parallels or is identical to that of Lt. Whipple just a few years earlier. A dotted line indicates where the routes diverge. Beale's 62 camp sites are numbered by day. Lithographed by Julius Bien.
