This small map of North America depicts the United States with its western boundary on the Mississippi River while Louisiana and New Mexico occupy the region to its west. The Great Lakes are still shown somewhat misshapen, and the entire northwest is left blank with Alaska excluded from the map. Decorated by a simple block-style title cartouche.
