Lorrain, N. Pere 1839 Amerique Septentrionale This uncommon copper-engraved map features the Independent Republic of Texas nestled between the United States and a large Mexico. Texas is in an odd configuration with the western border displaced too far to the east from the Rio Grande River, putting San Antonio and Santa Fe in Mexico. The Rocky Mountains are called the Montagues Rochieuses. The Great Salt Lake is called Lake Timpanogos with the smaller Lake Teguya below. Several river systems cross the Great Basin area. This French map portrays the United States extending well into British Columbia, which was eventually known as the Fifty-four Forty or Fight controversy, cartographically taking the side of the United States. Alaska is Russie Americaine and all of Canada is Nouvelle Bretagne. Fancy titling with flourishes and a keyboard-style border embellish the map. 14.6"" W x 10.8"" H Original outline color with minor soiling and some printer`s ink residue.

SDUK Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, 1843 North America Detailed and finely engraved map that portrays an Independent Texas, with Mexico controlling Nueva California. The boundary between Canada and the United States is left unengraved, leaving the ownership of Oregon Territory (here labeled Columbia) unknown, which is unusual for a British map. Filled with well-developed topography, the map names numerous forts, trading posts, Indian tribes and locates L. Youla roughly near the Great Salt Lake with the American Fur Depot on its eastern shore. The R. Buenaventura extends to the Pacific from two branches, one originating from a large swamp in the Great Basin. The course of the Snake River is fairly accurate, but the Colorado River originates too far north and rushes to the Sea of Cortez in a straight line. Locates the 3 buttes in present-day Idaho -- important landmarks on the Oregon Trail. Lake Michigan retains its erroneous elongated shape. Distance scales outside of border give English Miles and Spanish Leagues. Engraved by J. & C. Walker and published by Chapman & Hall. 12"" W x 15"" H Original outline color with pleasant even-age toning.

America as Settled by the Preliminaries in 1762 Covering from Labrador to Florida and west to the Mississippi, this important, historical map details the land settlement that ended the French & Indian War. The map graphically depicts ""The Countries shaded with lines are those formerly claimed or possessed by France and Spain and are now absolutely ceded & guaranteed to Great Britain."" This long and complex war resulted in Britain gaining New France, the eastern Mississippi basin, and Florida. Spain gained New Orleans and retained its Caribbean islands. France also retained its Caribbean islands and Havana. The preliminary treaty illustrated by this map was ratified the following year in the Treaty of Paris. The colonies of Virginia and Carolina are now shown with their western boundaries to the Mississippi River. The Six Nations` boundary extends west to occupy the Great Lakes region.

""This is a fascinating lot focused on the oil producing regions in Wyoming. The state enjoyed tremendous economic and population growth in the early 20th century fueled by its mineral resources. One of the most notable events that occurred during this boom was the infamous Teapot Dome scandal in which Secretary of the Interior Albert B. Fall leased Navy petroleum reserves to private oil companies at low rates in return for kickbacks. Fall was later convicted of accepting bribes from the oil companies, and was the first member of a PresidentÂ’s cabinet to go to prison for his actions while in office. The Teapot Dome, and numerous other oil fields in the region, are the focus of the maps in this group including: A. Wyoming Road Map, by The Casper Independent, circa 1920, black and white (17.8 x 9.8""""). Rare promotional map for Hotel Henning focused on the road network in the state, including """"all weather roads"""" and """"roads requiring chains in wet weather.""""

Buchon, Jean Alexandre 1825 Atlas Geographique, Statistique, Historique et Chronologique des Deux Ameriques et des Iles Adjacentes... ""This very attractive atlas is from the French edition of Carey & Lea`s American Atlas. Included are 63 maps and tables of North America, South America, the United States and the West Indies. Each of the maps is surrounded by text including economic, political, social and historical data. Of particular interest are the following maps: Carte Geographique, Statistique et Historique de l`Amerique Septentrionale (14.3 x 14.0""""). The United States extends to the Pacific Ocean and reaches far north into Canada showing the boundary that becomes the Fifty-Four Forty or Fight dispute between England and the U.S. Alaska is Amerique Russe with good detail and place names along the coastal region, but a fully blank interior. Many Indian regions are noted throughout. In Texas (unnamed) only a few places are named; S. Antonio, Rancho, Matagorda, and San Saba. A bizarre mountain range diagonally crosses the Great Basin from Utah and nearly reaches the coast in the direction of San Clemente. The R. del Carmelo ou St. Phelipe, originating in L. Teguanyo ou Salo, freely runs through the Great Basin to its mouth at Monterrey. Etats-Unis d`Amerique (21.0 x 16.8""""). This map is directly derived from John Melish`s seminal map of the United States. The large Arkansas Territory takes in most of present-day Oklahoma; the new state of Missouri has a vertical western border; Michigan Territory includes most of present-day eastern Wisconsin; and the Northwest Territory takes in present day Wisconsin and Minnesota. The balance of the Midwest is included in the Territoire d`Oregon and is filled with information on numerous Indian tribes. The Grand Desert Americain takes in the southern plains region. Texas is a part of Mexico. Carte Geographique, Statistique et Historique du Territoire d`Arkansas (14.2 x 14.1""""). Reflecting Major Stephen H. Long`s exploratory expeditions, this is an important map of the early western territories, focusing on the large Arkansas Territory, and depicting an early western border in Missouri. The map extends to the Rocky Mountains, and the plains are labeled Grand Desert. Numerous Indian villages are shown based on information gained from the Lewis and Clark expedition, and other important exploration routes are shown. The map shows Arkansas Territory extending to include present-day Oklahoma. The western portions of the map are identical to Long`s map of 1823, also published by Carey & Lea. Carte Geographique, Statistique et Historique de Michigan (10.3 x 14.2""""). This fine early map of Michigan Territory depicts a western boundary on a line 10° 30` West Longitude from Washington, resulting in Green Bay and a strip of present-day Wisconsin being incorporated into Michigan. The Frontiere Indienne divides lower Michigan on a diagonal line. The only settlements shown are in the southeast around Detroit, and along the Saginaw River is a Nouveaux Etablissements. The initial counties of Michilimakinak, Monroe, Oakland, DeWayne and Macomb are named but not delineated. There is a road depicted from Ft. Wayne, Indiana to Mt. Clemens. The rest of the territory is virtually blank except the a few portages and Indian villages. Several battlegrounds from the War of 1812 are located by tiny flag symbols. Complete. Large folio, hardbound in marbled paper boards. Text block has deckled edges."" 14.9"" W x 22.2"" H Maps and text are very good to near fine with some occasional light soiling and damp stains in the blank margins.
