| Notes | » Website description: The Commissioner of Indian Affairs requested this map to represent the state of western development, highlighting land, mineral riches, and railroads. » N. DuBois Draughtsman » Relief shown by hachures. » "Made by the authority of the Hon. O.H. Browning, Secretary of the Interior." » "Compiled from authorized explorations of Pacific Rail Road Routes, Public Surveys, and other reliable data from the Departments of the Government at Washington, D.C. by W.J. Keeler, Civil Engineer. 1868." » "Entered ... 1867 by Wm. J. Keeler ... District of Columbia." » This is the reduced issue with slightly more coverage in the east and more progressed railroad development than the larger issue of 1857. The detail is, of course, less, due to the smaller scale, and the minerals are not colored in.
