Colorado part of Nebraska Territory where a note states that all civilized tribes of Indians now appoint a principal Chief who conducts their negotiations with the government. Also railroads, emigrant's trails, towns, forts, and topography. This wall map is noted for the many small steel engraved vignettes of native American animals and ships that adorn its surface. Old rebacking with some moisture damage to margins. Later margin binding. Some flaking, cracking and loose spots. Rods not original on this the wall version. There was also a folding state. The 1851 version of this map established the present borders of Texas and the various issues responded to the demand for reliable data on the emerging West.
