This is a complete example of Olney's school atlas with 5 double-page and 7 single-page maps, including several related to the United States as well as maps of the world and continents. Of particular interest is the map of the United States, which features the Independent Republic of Texas in its smaller configuration with a southern border along the Nueces River. Texas settlements include Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Goliad, Liberty, and Aurora, with a small New Mexico to the west. The northern portion of Upper California is marked Unexplored Region, with much of the Southwest covered by a table of distances. The huge Oregon Territory extends to the Continental Divide and well north into British America. East of Oregon is a large Missouri Territory that extends to an oversized Iowa Territory at the Missouri River, that in turn extends to Wisconsin at the Mississippi River. The map has terrific territorial configurations and is filled with information on forts, Indian tribes, waterways, and more. Also included is a single-page map of North America (with independent Texas) and a double-hemisphere world map. Printed paper covers double as the title page and list of maps. Published by Robinson, Pratt & Company in New York.
