Copper engraved map showing the United States with pre-Mexican American War boundaries and claims into present-day British Columbia. The map has been corrected to 1846, but still shows an independent Republic of Texas, suggesting the map was updated very early in the year. West of the Mississippi there is little detail except for the river system, forts, and a few place names. Engraved by G.W. Boynton.
