The maps covers the entire U.S., however, the original 13 colonies and the State of Texas were exempt from coverage by the General Land Office. The state of the surveys in the remaining States and Territories are noted in considerable detail. Wyoming Territory remains to be created. The southern tip of Nevada is still attached to Arizona. A small portion of Dakota has been surveyed for settlers but nothing much has been done in Arizona, Nevada, Idaho or Montana.
