The map, a creative depiction of Texas history, was a collaborative effort led by Peter Wolf and produced by his company in Dallas in 1982. It highlights significant historical moments from early Spanish exploration to the later days of frontier life, excluding contemporary markings in favor of natural landscapes, historical paths, and narrated scenes that embody the state's storied past. Iconic events like the Alamo are featured prominently.
The artwork also showcases portraits of key figures in Texan history along the top margin and dramatized historical scenes along the edges. Enclosed within cattle brands and an ornate border, the map is a testament to the rich narrative of Texas.
Peter Wolf, a Yale Drama School alumnus and World War II veteran, was renowned for his work with the Dallas Summer Musicals and his contributions to Broadway, including classic productions.
