A nice example of this brightly colored map depicting an interesting period of time. The entire western region is unorganized, but a few cities are named such as S. Barbara, Sacramento City and Monterey. Alaska is Russian America and Canada is labeled New Britain. Texas still appears as an independent republic - an eight year old error! The map extends to include the Caribbean and south to Panama.
