Terrific large format map of North America, with a decidedly British outlook.
The map reflects the post-Guadalupe Hidalgo border with Mexico. Only Texas, Upper California and Oregon Territory are shown in the West, along with a massive Missouri Territory. The cartography in the West pre-dates Fremont, with a few extra lakes and mountain ranges and a mislocated Colorado River. Nice detail and topographical imagery along the Rocky Mountains. In Oregon, the British Claims extend to the Columbia River, encroaching on the American claims to Puget Sound. Alaska is Russian Territory.
Excellent detail in the Canadian Transmississippi West. The missions in California are shown, but no sign of Gold. An excellent example of this scarce large format map, with clean wide margins.
