This very detailed map of the West was based on a section of Duflot de Mofras's larger 1844 map of western North America. Although the map was published in 1849, there is no mention of the gold discoveries. The map is filled with text, towns and the location of Indian tribes. Published in Paris by Arthus-Bertrand. The map is still bound into the French edition of Bryant's overland journey taken in 1846, which is considered to be one of the most detailed and reliable journals of this period. Hardbound, 16mo., 272 pp. with green leather spine and tips over marbled boards with gilt title on a raised spine.
