Scarce map of North America, shortly after the Louisiana Purchase and the first publication of Lewis & Clark's official report.

The map includes the rare pre-Louisiana Purchase territories, including St. Louis, Arkansas and Lawrence.

Includes: mythical rivers of the west, flowing from the Salt Lake Region to the Pacific; Texas is named; excellent post-Lewis & Clark details west of the Missouri; a fascinating conjectural connection of the Yellowstone River to the Columbia River (showing a potential water course from the Missouri to the Pacific Ocean); many Indian Tribes named.

This map originates from 'Atlas pour Servir a l'Intelligence de l'Histoire Generale des Voyages, de Laharpe' by A. Tardieu.

Blank Verso.
