Map shows the extent of the early United States, with Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana demarcating the western frontier. Texas is part of Mexico, a large Missouri Territory reaches westward, and Huron Territory takes the place of Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The southern tip of Florida is shown in an inset at the lower right. The map is filled with early towns, settlements and mines, watershed and some topography. Published by Illmann & Pilbrow.
