This crisply engraved map shows the United States in control of the entire southwest. Texas is depicted closer to its present-day borders, and the west is taken up by California and huge Utah and New Mexico territories. A large portion of the Great Basin is labeled "unexplored" directly above an east-west mountain range. At bottom are two elevation profile views: one from Council Bluffs, Iowa to the Pacific, and the other from Colina, Mexico to the Gulf of Mexico. Published by Orr & Company.
