A. United States, by Archibald Fullarton & Co., circa 1835 (10.3 x 8.1"). This small map of the United States displays a huge Missouri Territory, Northwestern Territory, and an inset with the Continuation of the Western Territory. Detail west of the Mississippi River is limited to the locations of Indian tribes, rivers and topography. The area from the Platte River to the Red River is named the Great Desert. Engraved by Gray & Son. Fullarton's imprint has been trimmed away at bottom. Condition: Backed in linen with light soiling that is mostly confined to the margins. (B+)
