"Tableau Historique et Geographique de l'Amerique Septentrionale", Duval, Henri Louis Nicolas

This finely engraved map is surrounded by color-coded text describing the United States, Canada, Russian America (Alaska), Greenland, Mexico, Central America and the Greater Antilles. It reflects U.S. interests in the Pacific Northwest as the boundary with Canada extends well into present-day British Colombia. The Southwest is controlled by Mexico including a named Texas without boundaries. The Great Basin in mostly void of detail but includes a pair of spurious rivers emptying into the Pacific Ocean. Engraved by Laguillermie. On a sheet of French text measuring 23.3 x 16.8".
