Excerpt from Nature, Vol. 13: A Weekly Illustrated Journal of Science; November 1875 to April 1876

The region recommended by Dr. Hayden and approved of by the Government as the scene to which the Operations of the Survey should be transferred was that portion of the Rocky Mountain range which runs through Colorado and New Mexico - a region as yet unsurveyed and likely in a few years to be rapidly developed by some of the most important railroads of the West. The survey of the fortieth parallel by Mr. Clarence King, to which allusion has been already made, and of which some account will be given in a subsequent paper, had done good service in making known the physical features and geology of a belt of country stretching across the northern limits of the tract which Dr. Hayden now proposed to examine. That survey would form the starting-point of the new explorations which it was arranged should sweep west ward across the watershed of the continent to the left bank of the Green and Colorado Rivers, eastward across the sources and higher course of the Platte, Arkansas, and other tributaries of the Mississippi, and southwards to the boundary-line between the United States and Mexico.
