There are two maps on this page, one on either side; the first page shows the states of Texas and Oklahoma and the other side shows South Dakota. Each of the maps marks the major cities, roads, and railroad lines (in red). For Texas and South Dakota, the counties are outlined and labeled and there is an index of the counties and "Principal Cities and Towns." The map of Texas also has an inset in the lower left corner of "Western Texas" which is the same scale as the main map. Some relief is shown by hachures.
