Description

The First Atlas Map of Utah Territory in its Modern Configuration.

Historically important early map of Utah, published by OW Gray.

The map is colored by counties and showing early roads, rivers, mountains, railroads, mines, Indians, forts, etc. 

This is the first commercial atlas map of Utah Territory in its final configuration, as it would appear when it gained statehood in 1896, and is preceded only by the 1857 Rogers & Johnson Utah Territory map, which shows Utah as including all of Nevada.
