The Republic of Texas was a sovereign state in North America from 1836 to 1845. It was formed as a break-away republic from Mexico by the Texas Revolution. The nation claimed a large region that included all of the present state of Texas together with part of the former Mexican region of New Mexico (parts of present-day New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, and Wyoming). The eastern boundary with the United States was defined by the Adams-Onís Treaty between the United States and Spain, in 1819. Its southern and western-most boundary with Mexico was under dispute throughout the existence of the republic, with Texas claiming that the boundary was the Rio Grande, and Mexico claiming the Nueces River as the boundary.

This cerographic map (5.5 x 5") of Independent Texas is from a school geography. It covers the republic as far west as the Guadalupe Mountains and north to the Red River. County development is confined to the east and south of Austin with several cities identified including San Antonio de Bexar, Houston, Galveston, and Columbus. The western portion of the Republic is undeveloped with the notations "Buffaloes and Wild Horses" and "Comanche Indians." There is a second map on verso, Mexico Guatimala and the West Indies (8.9 x 5.7"), that shows the Republic of Texas with its northern boundary on the Arkansas River. California and the western states are controlled by Mexico. The Great Salt Lake is named L. Youia or Bonneville (salt). Both maps are surrounded by text and small illustrations of Santa Fe traders attacked by Native Americans, a prairie fire, a buffalo hunt, and plants and peoples of Mexico. On a sheet of English text measuring 9.4 x 12.1"
