This is an original “pocket map,” not a sheet from an atlas.  It was designed to be folded and fit inside gold-printed, black-cloth covers, as is this specific Colton map.

Folder dimensions: 3-3/4 inches by 5-3/4 inches

Map dimensions, unfolded: 25-3/4 inches by 17-1/4 inches

Excellent condition, as if never used.  Beautiful, vibrant colors.  Pin-point detail.  Topographical, as well as roads, railroads, watercourses, and wagon routes.

WYOMING TERITORY.  UTAH TERRITORY.  COLORADO TERRITORY/STATE.

Many institutions list the “atlas sheet” in their collections; however, few have the original “pocket map” in their archives.
