Note:
Map includes a chart of meteorological observations giving remarks, the temperature reading, and the altitude. From the notes on the map, this appears to have been a difficult stretch of road. No game was found 30 miles each way from Fort Laramie. Grass was scanty as was fuel. It is stated that, "Sioux Indians are not to be trusted." Notes from Fremont's report states that Fort Laramie should be used as an established military post. It would make the whole area safer and could also continue to be a trading post.

Pub Note:
First maps to show the Oregon Trail accurately with great detail. Used by many of the overland trail parties. 1st issue, second state. The second state is indicated because there are changes in the text setting on sheet 7 that are the same as the later issue of 1849. Maps are without color and bound together on the right margin with a strip of light blue paper.
