Large late 19th century color lithographed map. Not to be confused with the far more common later Cram maps, this much scarcer earlier version is a unique format with a short-lived production time.
Original center-fold as issued, this map is oversize and depicts this undivided "state" during a transitional moment prior to actual statehood.
