Description
This early US map has terrific western territorial borders featuring the Independent Republic of Texas, Austin being the capital, with the long stovepipe border extending well above Pike's Peak to the 42nd parallel. Noted Texas cities include Houston, Bexar, Columbia, Houston, Franklin, Galveston, etc. Notations within Texas include "Herds of Buffaloes and Wild Horses", and "Extensive Prairies." The Great American Desert extends from the panhandle up into the large Indian Territory. The huge Missouri Territory lays between the even larger Oregon Territory and extends to meet the unnamed Sioux lands at the Missouri River. The large Indian Territory fills the region from Texas to Missouri Territory along the North Fork of the Platte River, west to Upper California and east to border with Iowa, Missouri and Arkansas. The large inset is No. 6 Map of Mexico and Guatimala showing Mexico in control of the entire Southwest up to Oregon Territory and eastward to Texas. The western United states is here named Upper California while the Baja is Old California. Topography, many settlements, Indian tribes and wagon routes are noted as well.
