This reduced version of Kitchin's map first published in 1777 provides excellent detail in the Southwest. Texas is a part of the larger region of San Luis Potosi. It shows the range of the Apache, Hopi (Moqui), Teguas, Chocktaw tribes, and a few more. Good watershed and topographical detail. Northern California is New Albion and the area to the east is typically blank. The Great Salt Lake is alluded to with a shaded area "Lake the western limits of which are unknown." Inset "Environs of Mexico City.' details the bridges in the Lake of Mexico.

Clean paper and a strong impression. The margins are close as issued.


Ref: cf Wheat (TMW) #172.
