This large, handsome map of the Americas features the independent Republic of Texas with its southern border on the Rio Grande and the northern border following the Arkansas River to beyond its headwaters, thus incorporating Santa Fe.  In Alaska (Russian Possessions), the discoveries of Dease and Simpson are noted at Point Barrow.  The map extends through the Pacific Ocean to include New Zealand and the Pacific Islands, where Hawaii is prominently shown.  In South America, there is still a remnant of the mythical Lake Parime.  In the Antarctic Icy Sea, and just peaking out of the keyboard-style border are the South Sandwich Islands, labeled Sandwich Land and Southern Thule.

A nice impression on thick paper with contemporary outline color.  There is some light foxing.
