This colorful and fascinating map with great detail was published ten years before statehood was gained. The extent of nine Indian reservations, four Military reservations, including Fort Apache, and numerous Forest Reservations are clearly shown in different colors. Private claims, confirmed and unconfirmed, are outlined in red, and the Grand Canyon Forest Preserve is noted. Brown hachured mountainous areas and the blue waterways combine to provide great visual impact. The details included on the map are watershed, mountains, railroads, wagon roads, private claims, and unsurveyed townships. The 1902 edition is less common than most other issues.
