Heading: (North America)

Title: A New Map of North America from the Latest Authorities
Place Published: London
Publisher:
Date Published: 1806
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.
