Rocky Mountain Map Society Meeting

The Rocky Mountain Map Society will meet at 5:30 PM MT in History Colorado, 1200 N Broadway. In 1860, Jefferson Territory overlapped Utah, Nebraska, New Mexico, and Kansas. Federal law included territories in the decennial census, providing more flexibility in counting residents than states received.  Census data was originally collected to allocate representatives and manage taxation. Today, online census records provide detailed insights into families, communities, and migration. Census takers sometimes made mistakes but rarely missed entire settled areas.

Nancy Prince will discuss The Influence of Four 1860 Territorial Censuses on the Development of the Colorado Map.
