Title: Map of Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado, Showing also the Southern portion of Dacotah [Wyoming shown as Attached to Dacotah] Map Maker: Samuel Augustus Mitchell Jr.
Description: Excellent early map of the region of the Rocky Mountains and Northern Plains, published by SA Mitchell Jr., featuring a depiction of Wyoming as "Attached to Dacotah." Kansas counties cover only the eastern third of the state. Nebraska counties cover less than half the state. Colorado has only approximately 15 counties. The gold regions near Denver are shown, as are a number of Indian Tribes, early towns, forts, etc. Dakota includes all of Wyoming. The map shows early proposed railroads, forts, Indian tribes, rivers, mountains, etc. The plains region is still very much in transition, with the results of several major explorations commenced immediately after the civil war are not yet in evidence. Decorative floral border.
