This small map shows the expanding United States with its western limits on the Pacific Ocean in the northwest, though the border with Canada reflects a British perspective. The Republic of Texas is prominently depicted in its smaller configuration with Austin, Houston, and San Antonio named. Place names are located along the coasts and only the river systems and topography are depicted in the interior. The map extends to include Iceland, the Caribbean islands, and northern South America. Published in Edinburgh.
