At the period you speak of no uniforms were worn. Rangers wore their normal work clothes when called out and carried their own arms. To the best of my knowledge no forts were built.

Nevada joined the Union in 1864, with its final southern boundry established in 1866. New Mexico and Arizona remained "territories" until 1912. Roughly an area was a "territory" prior to its admission to the union as a "state". A territory had many government functions provided by, or administered by the federal government. So the US Army would have provided defense functions in the state. Most "ranger" organizations over the western US were loosely organized for law enforcement or for defense against the Native Americans. The Texas Rangers have a long history that started as a military defense organization that evolved into law enforcement. Most other "ranger" groups in the west were raised to deal with one threat or issue and disolved again. Most didn't have uniforms and many didn't have badges or other insignia.
