“Deseret” was never a territory of the USA.

Quack, Waddle --

"Deseret was the name given to the region for which the Mormon pioneers sought territorial status in 1849 and to the quasi government that they carried on for the next two year. It also designated the state they repeatedly sought to have admitted to the Union, and it also designated the shadow government they conducted from 1862 to 1870. "Deseret" is a Book of Mormon term (Ether 2:3) meaning "honeybee." "
