This is the more desirable issue of this map, with the state and territory borders instead of the Military Districts. The large western territories include Dakota, Idaho (incorporating present-day Montana and Wyoming), a narrow Nevada with Arizona including the region containing Las Vegas. Hundreds of military forts are located. The map includes nine inset plans of the major southern harbors and is surrounded by a decorative border. Copyright date 1861, but published circa 1863.
