*** START PRICE IS THE RESERVE ***
[America] JOHNSTON, Alexander Keith (1804-1871).
United States and Texas.
Lithograph with original color.
London, 1844.
21 1/8" x 26 1/8" sheet.
Comparable: Old World Auctions, 2015 - $1,265.
This handsome and very detailed map of the eastern United States features the independent Republic of Texas. Typical of British maps of this period, the map is densely engraved with information including an incredible network of roads and trails, built and proposed railways, operational and proposed canals, and lighthouse locations. The territories of Wisconsin and Iowa are both depicted, with Iowa stretching between the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers and extending to the Canadian border. Texas is shown with its borders extending from the Rio Grande to the Arkansas, encompassing Santa Fe and even beyond Pike's Peak. All of the important settlements in Texas are noted including all the communities along the Rio Grande.
