Interesting map that shows the pre-Gadsden Purchase boundary with Mexico and great western territorial borders. The west is composed of only California and the oversized territories of Utah, New Mexico, Oregon and the NW Territory. Alaska is Russian Territory. A very fine example of Dufour's work with title in fancy script beautifully engraved by Desbuissoins.
