Description
G.W. & C.B. Colton: Colton's Wyoming Colorado and Utah
Fine example of Colton's map of Wyoming, Colorado and Utah, pre-dating the addition of Yellowstone Park.
Wyoming is shown with only 5 counties. The progress of the General Land Office Surveys can be shown along major rivers, but large parts of the 3 territories are unsurveyed. The Union Pacific Railroad line has now traversed the country via Wyoming, with a number of other lines shown in Utah and Colorado.
The mining boom in Southwestern Colorado is much in evidence, with Telluride, Silverton Ohir, Ouray and other early boom towns shown, although the railroad has only reached Lake City.
