Philadelphia, 1846 An important emigrant guide map to the west, and one of the first widely-circulated maps of early Texas statehood. According to Wheat, the map was "among the first by a commercial cartographer to utilize the recent explorations that had bounded and determined the nature of the Great Basin. Because of its popularity, this map of the West exerted great influence, not only with the public but on other commercial cartographers". The 46-page "Accompaniment" is regarded among the best contemporary descriptions of Oregon and California. Wheat, TMW 520.
