Terrific map shows the region just prior to the Mexican War and settlement of the boundary dispute with England. Mexico controls California and the southwest, Texas appears to be a U.S. state, and Alaska is Russian America. All of Canada is labeled British Territories, but Vancouver Island is shown as U.S. controlled. Filled with information including forts, Indian tribes and scores of place names. This example registered by H.N. Burroughs in 1846, with Mitchell's imprint below the title and also dated 1846.
