Taken from the Cabinet Map of the United States and Territories of 1868, showing the portion of that map west of Ohio, and like it, derived (almost copied) from the U.S. General Land Office Map of the United States of 1868. Several changes in the west: Wyoming is no longer "proposed," the Transcontinental Railroad is completed and many more stations on it are named, Southern Nevada has a new proposed Humboldt and Colorado Railroad and telegraph line, and more railroad development and topography is shown in Northeastern California. Full color. Folded into black cloth covers 15.5x10 with "Cabinet Map of the Western States and Territories." in gilt.
