Description
This is a very important map being the first one printed showing the topography of the Louisiana Purchase - but with some inaccuracies. The map covers the western part of North America, Lake Michigan / Missiasippi delts and points west, from most of Canada through northern half of Mexico. When Arrowsmith first published this map the location of the Mississippi's source, the extent of its major tributaries, and the topography of the Rocky Mountains, the Colorado River system were not known to Westerners and thus the inaccuracies in the map. Many mountains, rivers, lakes an a few settlements are identified in the map. Below the title cartouche at upper left is Drawn by S. Lewis ... Tanner Sc.
