This map covers the southwestern United States just a few years before Mexico lost the region in the Mexican/American War. Texas is shown as an independent Republic with its panhandle extending well north up to Spanish Peaks . All of the Southwest and California are here noted as being Generally called Upper California. Large swamp and lakes are shown in the Great Basin, draining through a complex R. Buenaventura system. The map displays excellent detail throughout including Houston, Austin, San Antonio as well as forts, Indian tribes, etc. The regions are filled with interesting notations including a Supposed Petrified Forest in the western part of Texas, and Supposed residence of the Aztecs in 12th century, and (Humboldt ) in the Moquis (Hopi) region of present-day Arizona.
