The State of Deseret was a proposed state that would have been located in the western United States. The proposed state was roughly the size of modern-day Utah, Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, Wyoming, and parts of Colorado, New Mexico, Oregon, and California.
A state of Deseret map would show the proposed borders of the state, which were laid out by the leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (also known as the Mormon Church) in 1849. The proposed state of Deseret was intended to be a theocracy, with Brigham Young as its governor and the Mormon Church as the dominant political and social institution.
The state of Deseret map would show the proposed capital at Salt Lake City, as well as the proposed boundaries of each county within the state. The proposal for the state of Deseret was ultimately rejected by the US government, and the area was divided into several smaller territories instead.
Today, the legacy of the proposed state of Deseret can still be seen in the strong Mormon presence in Utah and neighboring states, as well as in the cultural and religious influence of the Mormon Church on the western United States.
