A nice set of maps showing the development of North America and the young United States:

A nice map of the Western Hemisphere showing showing the young United States extending to the Mississippi River. A few cities are noted along the east coast including Savannah, Charleston, Williamsburg, Philadelphia and Boston. Further west, a speculative West R. connects the Pacific Ocean to Hudson Bay.

B. A Map of North America from the Latest Discoveries, by Thomas & Andrews, dated 1806, hand color (7.3 x 5.8"). A small map of North America filled with places names.

Florida is divided between East & West, Texas is named in New Spain, and Quivira is located in the Pacific Northwest.

The United States is shown extending to the Rocky Mountains with Texas named and part of Mexico. In New California, two speculative rivers (R.S. Francisco and R.S. Buenaventura) extend across the Great Basin to the Pacific Ocean. Condition: A crisp impression on a mostly clean sheet.
