This map presents an uncertain border between the U.S. and British Columbia reflecting the Oregon Boundary Dispute. Missouri Territory takes up the entire Pacific Northwest stretching east to the Mississippi River. Texas and the Southwest are still part of Mexico, and Salt Lake is noted.

The map is surrounded by columns of text describing the boundaries, topography, natives, and the history of the settlement of North America. Drawn by J. Finlayson and engraved by J. Yeager.
