This is a complete example of Olney's atlas with 21 maps on 8 double-page and 6 single-page sheets including several related to the United States as well as maps of the world and continents. The double-hemisphere world map includes quaint little vignettes throughout, such as Indians and bison in North America, lions and elephants in Africa, a pagoda in China and a kangaroo in Australia. The map of the United States shows the independent Republic of Texas reaching well north of Long's Peak. To the west is a small region named Santa Fe or New Mexico. Oregon Territory reaches to the Continental Divide and extends well into present-day British Columbia reflecting U.S. interests in the region. See images for a complete list of maps on the front cover. Published by Pratt, Woodford & Co., New York.
