Description

Rare Italian Map of the West & Texas

Scarce map of Mexico, Upper California, and Texas, etc. showing the boundaries of the western US immediately after the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.

The shape of Nuovo California or Territorio di Yutah is especially interesting, blending a mix of conjectural and pre-Fremont cartographic knowledge, including a prominent Lake Timanagos and Lake Teguayo and a curious range of mountains called Monte S. Giuseppe, which create the source of the major rivers flowing into San Francisco Bay.

The early Upper California Missions are noted. Texas is shown in its Republic configuration. Early Indian tribes named.

The Adams Onis Boundary of 1819 between Oregon Territory and Upper California is shown (quite tentatively and a bit inaccurately).

Condition Description
Minor foxing.
