TITLE OF MAP (NOT PRINTED ON THE PAGE):'Colton's United States of America'

The map shows the Pony Express US mail route between the Mid-West and San Francisco. Dakota Territory is shown as it was at the time of publication; it was later divided into two and admitted to the Uniion as the 39th and 40th states of North and South Dakota in 1889. The map predates the 1867 transfer of the northwestern corner of Arizona Territory, west of the Colorado River and 37° west from Washington, to Nevada; the transferred territory included the location of the city of Las Vegas which was thus in Arizona at the time of publication.
