Map Description:
A beautiful map that shows a large Independent Republic of Texas extending to the 42nd parallel with a long stovepipe panhandle that incorporates Santa Fe. Austin is shown as the capital, and San Felipe and Bexar are located. Above Texas is the Great American Desert. The United States extends to the Pacific with Ft. George or Astoria, Ft. Colville, and Ft. Wallah-Wallah named. Mexico controls California and the Southwest is Upper California with the Baja simply labeled California. Alaska is Russian America with the Aleutian Peninsula labeled Alaska. Cook's Inlet is well shown. Canada is depicted as British America and New Britain. States are not shown in the U.S. or Mexico. Numerous Indian tribes, major town, good detail of major rivers, and a vague idea of the Rocky Mountains are shown. The Great Basin is here called the Sandy Desert.
General Details:
1. The map depicts in great detail all of the geographical information known at the time the map was published. Note that many geographical details have changed since the map was published and were not accurate compared to today's modern maps because things were fully discovered and accurately mapped yet. Map symbols and details include individual towns, rivers, lakes, bays, harbors, islands, mountains, forests, roads and other important places as shown on the map in this listing. The map is in excellent condition considering the age and rarity of the map.
2. The overall size of the map is approximately 9 inches by 12 inches. Due to the lighting conditions when taking the photos, you may see some shadowing along any fold lines and wrinkles etc.
3. The map is a 100% original and genuine antique map.
Please note that I do not sell copies, posters, reproductions or fakes so you can buy with total confidence that you are buying the real thing. I have sold my collection to thousands of dealers, galleries, and map collectors from all around the world. If you like this map, then please simply make an offer for me to consider.
I am selling my entire personal collection of maps from my thirty years of collecting. I am selling my maps for very low prices compared to what others sell them for just to get them all out of storage and hopefully into a collector's hands to enjoy. Many of the maps in my listings sell for many times what I am asking for mine. If you see multiple listings for the same map that those are just additional original maps that I have of the same map because I have owned so many atlases over the years.
