"Smith's Quarto, or Second Book in Geography. A Concise and Practical System of Geography, for Common Schools, Academies and Families", Smith, Roswell C.

This is the seventh edition geography that contains 30 steel-plate maps and numerous wood engravings in text. The maps reflect pre-Mexican/American War boundaries. The single page map of the North America shows Mexico in control of the Southwest and California. The double-page map of the U.S. has the large Oregon Territory extending well in to Canada, and the huge unnamed Indian Territory stretches from Canada to Texas and from the Continental Divide to Minnesota. Texas is shown in its pre-Missouri Compromise configuration with the long stove pipe border extending nearly to 42° north latitude. Published by Cady & Burgess.
