An uncommon, striking, double-page map of the American Southwest. Arizona depicts only 5 counties with a huge Yavapai County occupying the majority of the territory. In Colorado, the Gold Region along the Front Range is prominently depicted. Western Kansas is dominated by Shyenne County, and the Staked Plain is prominently shown in western Texas. The map is filled with roads, railroads, Indian tribes, as well as the U.S. Mail Route, Santa Fe Road, and Santa Fe and Fort Smith Road.
