Early, large-scale, territorial map by the Surveyor Generals Office, Santa Fe, New Mexico. It includes all of today's Arizona and extends to include portions of eastern California and southern Utah to the north. The area of present-day New Mexico is depicted with limited surveying, primarily the settled areas of Santa Fe and along the valley of the Rio Grande River. Place names includes Meslia, Cruces, Ft. Filmore, Ft. Thorn, San Felipe, Algodones, Cochiti, and more. The region to the west of the Rio Grande is void of detail except for a few rivers and a proposed meridian at Fort Buchanan.
