Description

Attractive and wide margined example of Matthew Carey's map of North America. Early American published map of North America from Matthew Carey's General Atlas. The map includes nice pre-Lewis & Clark information in the west. Apacheria is shown, along with the Pimas, Yuma and other Indian Tribes. On the West Coast, Most of the major California harbors are shown, including San Pedro. The Columbia or River of the West searches vainly for a connection with the Missouri. The Rocky Mountains are still largely unknown south of the Canadian Border. A number of Indian Tribes located. The NW Coast reflects the recent discoveries of Vancouver and La Perouse. Focuses on the lakes & rivers west of the Mississippi. Decorative swash letter title. Illustrates the still naïve engraving style of American mapmakers in the early 19th Century. One of the most interesting atlas maps of North America from this period.
