This detailed map of Mexico and Central America extends to include present-day California, Texas, and the eastern U.S. in outline. The region northwest of Texas is simply labeled Desert, and is unusually depicted here as a United States possession. New Mexico extends north into the Rocky Mountains. Four rivers, including the Timpanogas and San Buenaventura, run straight into the Pacific. Locates many Indian tribes, forts and early settlements. Surrounded by a keyboard-style border. Engraved by John Dower.

Henry Teesdale was a prominent London publisher and founding fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. He produced large-scale maps and charts and a number of fine atlases in the early part of the nineteenth century. He employed the most skilled draftsmen and engravers and his maps are renowned for precise detail and fine coloring. His maps are increasingly scarce on the market.
