Description:
Copper-engraved map, hand-colored. 46x51.6 cm. (18x20¼").
Significant map demonstrating the limited knowledge of the American West just prior to the publication of the findings from the expedition of Lewis & Clark. The United States is confined to the region east of the Mississippi River excluding eastern Florida. The west is shown mostly empty with ill-defined political boundaries, and the Rockies named the Stony Mountains. Western Canada is well developed from information gleaned from fur-traders and the Mackenzie expedition. The course of the Missouri River ends at the Pawnee village near "Villages of the tall Indians and Mandans."
Condition
Some minor discoloration and offset; very good.
