English: Foldout map of the Southwestern United States with territories and "Mail Route" of the Overland Mail Company contracted for $600,000 per year in 1857. Service began when the "first eastbound stagecoach departed San Francisco on September 15, 1858, and the westbound stagecoach left St. Louis a day later." The "DAILY LINE, from St.Louis to Springfield, Mo." was through en:Tipton, Missouri until the tbd railway was extended in 1859 along the preceding stage route to "The George Shackelford Relay and Meal Station" in en:Syracuse, Missouri. The "southern route" through the 1854 Gadsden Purchase region was abandoned in 1861 for the central route through the Kansas and Utah Territories (former Pony Express Route, not shown).
