This was one of six maps issued with the report on the boundary survey between the Republic of Texas and the United States. The map depicts the boundary starting from a mound erected at the mouth of the river and follows up the river to Logan's Ferry (where the boundary ceases to follow the river). The map is minutely detailed and filled with fascinating notations. A rare, and important part of Texas' cartographic history. Drawn by Lieut. T.J. Lee, U.S. Topographical Engineers, engraved by W.J. Stone and published in 1842.
