Colton's Dakota and Wyoming, 1869
Item
Summary
An 1869 Colton Map of the New Wyoming Territory, without deliniation of the five counties. The map does not reflect the abandonment of the Bozeman Trail Forts. It errs in placing a "Ft. Hall" on the Medicine Bow River, when its true location was far to the west, in Idaho. Fremont's Peak is incorrectly identified as "The Loftiest Known Summit In This Chain", stemming from Fremont's own error.
