of the less desireable ones). The map of the Southern States shows Texas
with "Austin City" plus "Indian Territory" for Oklahoma. The "Western
States" map extends as far west as Minnesota/Iowa/Missouri/Arkansas. The
"Territories" map of the current western U.S. shows a large Dakota
Territory plus Indian Territory for Oklahoma, "New Mexico" extends over
that state plus the current Arizona. Fair to good condition, with
general cover wear, occasional child doodles inside and occasional foxing. A well-used yet sound book. Measures 8.5" x 7" . Good luck!
