Published at the tail end of the Civil War. The map adheres to the Colton legacy of producing cutting-edge geopolitical representations of the American West. In addition to the unusual Idaho configuration, the map displays a number of other anomalies, such as a truncated Nevada, oversized Utah (extending one degree further north than its final configuration) and single Dakota Territory. The boundaries of Idaho, Montana and Wyoming Territories also pre-date their final configurations, with Wyoming Territory shown 3 years prior to its formally becoming a Territory on July 25, 1868. The detail is fantastic throughout. Of particular interest are the many routes shown, which include: The Pony Express Route from Independence, Missouri to Oregon via South Pass (the Oregon Trail) Proposed Pacific Railroads through Colorado, the Southwest, and the northern states. Cooke's Wagon Road In addition, there remains a constellation of well-marked forts throughout the region. Areas of economic interest are marked in the west. Seven of the eight insets shown on the map relate to critical conflict areas of the Civil War, including the Del-Mar-VA area, Charleston, Beaufort, Norfolk, Wilmington (North Carolina), Key West and Tortugas, Mobile Harbor, and New Orleans. Data regarding the relative populations of enslaved peoples and freemen in the southern states are noted to the left of the map. In fact, editions of the map between 1860 and 1862 were colored according to slave and free states. The final inset shows a partial world map centered on the Atlantic and notes famous 18th- and 19th-century voyages up to the tracks taken by the USS Vincennes in 1838 and 1842. The map also tracks the day-by-day laying of the Atlantic Telegraph in 1858. In Montana, the map shows "Virginia," "Nevada" and "Bannock City." Virginia City, Nevada City and Bannack were short-lived centers of early Montana interest. Bannack, Montana, today a ghost town, was founded in 1862 during a major gold discovery. When founded, this area was extremely remote and the terminus of the Montana Trail. The population of Bannack rapidly boomed to about 10,000 and served as the first capital of the Montana Territory. Virginia City, Montana, was founded by prospectors who had ventured from Bannack and discovered gold. It was founded immediately thereafter and became a boomtown. Both Virginia City (originally named Verina after the First Lady of the Confederacy) and Bannack were particularly notable as lawless mining centers that were the center of the Montana Territory in the 1860s and '70s. Nevada City, Montana, today a ghost town, was founded as 1863 during a major gold discovery. The sister city of Virginia City, it also grew quite large. In December 1863, nearly 2,000 residents witnessed the conviction and hanging of Nicholas Tbalt for murder. By 1880, the population had fallen to 50 residents. Incredibly clean and presentable.

Joseph Hutchins Colton (1800-1893) started one of the premier map publishing firms in the U.S. His first printed map dated 1833, was a reprint of David Burrs map of the state of New York. The Colton firm was one of the primary publishers of guidebooks, immigrant maps, and railroad maps. In 1855 Colton issued his first atlas, "Colton's Atlas of the World."

Because of this, all maps were engraved by steel plates rather than by wax engraving which was the most common method used at this time.
