This detailed historical map shows North America at a particular...ly interesting and changing period. The vast territorial claims of the Independent Republic of Texas extend north along the Rio Grande to the Arkansas River (an area included in Texas’ boundaries until the Compromise of 1850). The region from the Rio Grande to the Pacific is shown under Mexican Rule, and present-day Alaska under the Russian flag. The United States was in the process of western exploration and expansion (the area west of Wisconsin and Iowa territory is unnamed - with the exception of “Columbia” in the upper northwest which was claimed by both the British and Americans until 1846, and shown here with no distinct boundary). Many Indian Tribes are located, and major towns, cities and water routes are identified throughout the continent.
This is an original, not a reproduction, and its condition is good as shown in the photos.
This map comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
