This map features 'die Lynn', a mountain also referred to in the Winnetou III chapter 'In California' (although it is not quite accurate); Mt Linn is an obscure landscape feature and not shown on many maps of the era
http://www.atlassen.info/atlassen/bibl_inst/meyza01/picslarge/meyza1852k096.jpg
This map shows both Mt Joseph, and Mt Linn

Other maps of interest:
May used the expression 'Savannah', instead of 'Prairie' quite often; notwithstanding that Captain Fremont did so, too, German maps of May's era featured great swathes of 'Savannen' in some spots:
http://www.atlassen.info/atlassen/glaser/glasa07/picslarge/glasa1854k025.jpg
This map features the Quicourt River, where Ribanna gave birth to Old Firehand's daughter/son Ellen/Harry.
http://www.atlassen.info/atlassen/perthes/stiha02/picslarge/stiha1847k046bs.jpg
This map shows the Shoshone (Schlangenindianer) exactly where May said they were, near the South Fork Lewis
