This interesting map of the United States shows the recently purchased Florida, the Northwest Territory and a huge Missouri Territory. The old Spanish districts, St. Louis, Cape Girardeau, Lawrence and Arkansas, are shown just west of the Mississippi River. In the west "the supposed course of a River" extends from San Francisco Bay to a Salt Lake. There are hundreds of Indian place names, interesting notations and what appear to be Indian trails or trading routes.
