This uncommon puzzle map, published by Milton Bradley of Springfield Mass., is accompanied by its original chromolithograph decorated box. The map is basic and displays the states and territories, major rivers, and a few cities in each state or territory. While most boundaries reflect current configurations, Dakota territory is still present and Yellowstone National Park is separately delineated. The map is printed on thin stock and cut into equal sized rectangles.
