Original large-format 1832 antique copper engraved map of North America locates Indian tribes, forts, trading posts, western territories, and the discoveries of Lewis and Clark.

• The map was engraved and printed by Fenner, Sears & Company and published in 1832 by Hinton, Simpkin & Marshall, London.



• The image area measures a generous 50.5 x 41.2 cm [20" x 16¼"].



• The map depicts the continent just before the push for westward expansion filled in the topographical details west of the Mississippi River.



• Texas and the Southwest still belong to Mexico, with the entire Southwest named New California.



• The western boundary between the United States and Canada is left undesignated, and the region of present day Oregon, Washington and British Columbia is labeled New Georgia.



• The west coast from Alaska (Russian Territory) to Oregon is labeled New Norfolk, New Cornwall, New Hanover, and New Albion.



• There's a large Arkansas Territory, and a massive Missouri Territory extends west and north from the Mississippi River.



• Named Indian tribes and settlements include the Blackfoot, Snake, Village of Rascals, Shoshone, Dog Rib, Cherokees, Chickasaws, Quarrellers, Osage, Ricarees, and Dakota or Sioux.



• There is a canoe camp on a fork of the Saptin or Lewiss River (today known as the Snake River), and the map locates a handful of forts and trading posts.



• Labeled discoveries in the northern latitudes suggest the existence of the long-sought-after Northwest Passage.



• In the eastern United States the northern border of Maine is undefined, Milledgeville is the capital of Georgia, and there is no West Virginia.



• Topography drawn in relief and attractive coastline shading give this marvelous map a handsome and dramatic appearance.
