A colorful map with great detail of railroads, cities, roads, extent of surveying, etc., thirteen years before statehood. A legend at upper left provides a key to color coding for topography, Indian Reservations, Military Reservations, and Forest Reserves. Several private land claims, confirmed and unconfirmed, are also shown through color coding. Much of the territory remains to be surveyed and townships subdivided. Locates the Hualpai Indian Reservation, and the Hopi Reservation is still labeled the Moqui Indian Reservation. The Grand Canyon Reserve is shown. The brown hachured mountain areas and the blue waterways combine to provide great visual impact. Information includes watershed, mountains, railroads, wagon roads, private claims, unsurveyed townships, etc.
