Title/Content of Map: 'Carte géographique, statistique et historique de l'Amerique' The North American map shows Mexico with its borders prior to the Mexican-American war, with its territory including Texas and much of what is now the south- western part of the United States. Alaska is shown as Russian America, as was the case until the Alaska purchase of 1867. The border between the United States and British North America (now Canada) follows the Columbia River to the Pacific - later amended by the Oregon Treaty. The South American map shows the continent with a number of newly formed states which had recently gained independence from Spain and Portugal. The map shows Gran Colombia, the modern name for the short-lived state that encompassed much of northern South America and Panama from 1819 to 1831; it included the territories of present-day Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Panama, northern Peru, western Guyana and northwest Brazil. The United Provinces of Rio de la Plata (Provincias Unidas del Río de la Plata) are delineated to include much of present day Argentina (excluding Entre Rios - marked as an independent state, and Patagonia), Bolivia, and part of Brazil. Uruguay - whch had declared independence in the year of publication of this map - is named as 'Banda Oriental'.
