Early, large-scale, territorial map by the Surveyor Generals Office, Santa Fe, New Mexico. It includes all of today's Arizona and extends to includes portions of eastern California and southern Utah to the north. The area of present-day New Mexico is depicted with good surveying progress primarily in the settled areas of Santa Fe and along the valley of the Rio Grande River. Just to the west of the Rio Grande are "Copper and Gold Mines" (which do not appear in the 1857 edition), a few Indian villages, and basic detail of rivers and topography.
