A scarce example of Spanish map-making and a very interesting map of the United States that appears to have borders pre-Mexican War despite the date. Further, the U.S./Canadian border extends well into today's British Columbia. Good detail of watershed and major cities. Locates numerous Indian Tribes. Includes many interesting place names including Distrito de Ozark in today's Oklahoma.
