Republic of Texas with Land Grants

"Texas in 1836", Kemble, W.

This delicately engraved map of the Republic of Texas displays an uncertain western border, similar to Bradford's important map of 1835. It shows the early Texas colonies and Mexican empresario land grants, including: John Cameron's Grant, Felisola's Grant, Burnet's Grant, Beale's Grant, Beale and Grant's Grant, McMullins & McGloine's Grant, De Leon's Grant, Power's Grant, Vhelin's Grant, Zavalla's Grant, Dewitt's Grant, Austin & Williams Grant with Stephen H. Austin's Grant inside of it. The map is filled with other early details including roads, topography, and much more. Notations include Comanche Indians, Elevated Prairies, Droves of Wild Cattle & Horses, and Immense Level Prairies. The map was originally included in John Monette's book of 1846 and is an early publication by Harper & Brothers.
