While dated 1844, the map is circa 1853 with the appearance of Washington Territory and New Mexico's border on the Gila River. Texas is in its preset-day configuration. To its west are New Mexico and Utah territories in their largest extents, and both Oregon and Washington territories extend to the Continental Divide. A huge Nebraska Territory extends from the Missouri River to the Rockies, while Kansas extends into present-day eastern Colorado. Minnesota Territory includes the eastern Dakotas.
