Description
With Pencil Notes Projecting Transcontinental Railroad Routes
Highly detailed map of the United States, illustrating a number of the transitional Trans-Mississippi West territorial boundaries shortly after the end of the Civil War.
The map provides the Territorial configurations of 1861, on the eve of the Civil War, including:
- Proposed Arizona Territory below New Mexico (the so-called Baylor Line)
- Newly created Nevada Territory in its first configuration (before being expanded east to reduce the size of Utah)
- Colorado Territory
- Nebraska Territory including all of Montana and Wyoming -- a likely error, as the region was then part of Dakota Territory.
- Washington Territory wrapped around the new state of Oregon
Condition Description
foxing. Pencil notes adding in the transcontinental railroad routes.
