One of Johnson's first and most desirable issues of this map. It shows the U.S. when it had some of the most interesting territorial borders: newly created is Nevada from a small portion of Utah, Colorado from another portion of Utah and the upper portion of New Mexico, Washington just gained the eastern portion of Oregon Territory, giving it an inverted "L" shape.
