Two suggestions:

(1)  Rabbitt, Mary C.  MINERALS, LANDS, AND GEOLOGY FOR THE COMMON
DEFENCE AND GENERAL WELFARE.  Volume 1, Before 1879; Volume 2, 1879 -
1904.  Published by the U. S. Geological Survey, 1979.

(2)  Davies, Gordon L. Herries.  SHEETS OF MANY COLOURS, THE MAPPING OF
IRELAND'S ROCKS, 1750 - 1890.  Published by the Royal Dublin Society,
1983.  (Although specific to Ireland only, this is a good example of
presenting the history of geologic mapping.)
