Large wall map, not in Wheat, though similar in content to the smaller Wheat 978. Shows the proposed State of Jefferson or Colona for a Colorado which is shown in its modern shape. Restored. Excellent condition with original rods. Other interesting boundaries include an east-west line between Arizona and New Mexico, an early appearance of Nevada which extends into Utah, a territory of Shoshone in what would become southern Idaho and western Wyoming. The title block reads "Published by J. H. Colton, 54 William St., New York for Johnson & Browning, Richmond, VA." This apparently indicates that the map was actually printed in New York, though the formal attribution is a bit murky. This is among the earliest maps to show Shoshone as well as Jefferson/Colona. Overall, a fascinating map. Seller Inventory # m00674
