This interesting map depicts the region with the largest extents of Utah and New Mexico Territories. Utah Territory encompasses all of today's Nevada and extends west to the Continental Divide into present-day northern Colorado with Fillmore City as its capital. Nebraska and Kanzas Territories bound Utah on the east. New Mexico Territory includes part of southern Colorado and stretches west to include Arizona and the southern tip of present-day Nevada . Fremont's routes, proposed routes for the Pacific Railroad, the Spanish Trail, and much more are located. Dated 1855 but it was published circa 1857.
