"Carte de l'Amerique Septentrionale avec les Regions Polaires", Vivien de Saint Martin, Louis

An attractive French map of North America depicting the river systems, topography, and early settlements. The Provinces Confederee (states) extend as far as Michigan and Missouri with a huge Missouri Territory to the west. In the Pacific Northwest, U.S. claims extend well into present-day British Columbia reflecting U.S. interests in the region. Texas is unnamed though it is likely a Republic here (given the positioning of the words Mexico and United States) with only a few settlements noted including San Antonio, Matagorda, and San Saba. California and the Southwest are under Mexican control with a few spurious rivers crossing the Great Basin into the Pacific Ocean. In the polar region, the most recent discoveries are shown including those of Franklin, Hearn and Mackenzie. Surrounded by a bold keyboard-style border.
