The legend identifies military posts, Indian reservations, completed railroads, railroad land grants, townships and townships not yet subdivided. The granted and indemnity limits of military wagon roads are illustrated. Grid along the bottom shows longitude west from Washington. Lithography and printing by the renowned firm of Julius Bien in New York City. Also included in this lot is the original six-page report which refers to the map.
