By J.H. Clark, U.S. Commissioner, drawn by J.E. Weyss, circa 1860. A most interesting historical curiosity. An agreement between the U.S. and the Texas Surveyor Commissioners was never reached, as the Civil War intervened so the map was not published at the time. In 1902 it was included in a Geological Survey Bulletin by Marcus Baker. It would appear that the primary aspect of the survey was a running of the lines between Texas and New Mexico. Extremely detailed. A table lists 29 "points which can be easily found on the Earth's Surface." A most unusual Texas cartographic piece.
