Pair of early maps of Utah. The first, in full original color, shows numerous place names, railroads, towns, forts, and topography. A large area in Iron County shows the Broken Alkaline Mountains as unexplored. Good detail of the Central Pacific railway traversing the territory north of the Great Salt Lake. Locates the forts of Uintah and Ronbedou (Robindoux) in today Uintah County.
