In the 1840s and 50s, there was no West Texas...

Seems everytime there is a TL on Texas the western part of texas is always filled with Germans who somehow make it work.

In the 1840s and 50s, there was no West Texas...

There was, however, the Comancheria...

I wish that map didn't just paste OTL cities into it. Why would there be a Carson City or Eureka in a TL where Texas not only stayed independent but (probably with extreme amounts of British help) conquered the Mexican Cession areas

There would probably be a settlement of some kind near Carson City upon discovery of the vast mineral wealth in the nearby mountains (the Comstock Lode).

Las Vegas, NV and Amarillo, TX are also anachronisms for such a POD.

Also, why is the area called "New Mexico" west of what was considered New Mexico during most of the time between the 16th and late 19th centuries? (following the Rio Grande from El Paso up to Albuquerque and heading north up to Santa Fe and Taos.)
