Fascinating little map focused on that part of Mexico and that part of the Southwest that would become Texas, California, Arizona and New Mexico. Tecas is named for Texas, with the region above labeled Great Space of Land Unknown. On the Mississippi River, there is a note of Natches destroy'd, relating to the decimation of the Natchez Indians by the French in 1732 in retaliation for an attack on their garrison. Santa Fe is noted on the map as Sta Fe and New Orleans is shown at the far east of the map.
