The main map covers the eastern part of the United States and a large inset at bottom right shows the West. The boundaries of Washington and Oregon reach the Rocky Mountains, Utah includes Nevada and part of Colorado, New Mexico includes Arizona, and a huge Nebraska covers the rest of the West. Indian Territory is here called Western Territory. An inset at top depicts railroad and canal routes from Albany to Buffalo. A key at right identifies markings for state capitals, towns, villages, railroads, canals and stage roads.
