This very attractive, highly detailed map displays unusual configurations of the western territories of the United States. In Texas the French Franz Col. colony and the German Mainzer Verein colony are highlighted in text and separate hand coloring. New Mexico Territory expands between Texas, a large Utah Territory and California and includes Santa Fe and Taos. The large Indian Territory encompasses today's Oklahoma, Kansas, and part of Nebraska. Missouri Territory is also identified as Nebraska. Finely engraved in the typical German style.
