Amerique Septentrionale This attractive map features the Independent Republic of Texas. In Texas, the named towns include San Antonio, Franklin, Austin and Natchitoches. This French map portrays the United States extending well into British Columbia, cartographically taking the side of the United States as the French normally did at this time in history. Alaska is Amerique Russe and all of Canada is Nouvelle Bretagne. Mexico is in control of the entire Southwest. The map presents some basic detail of Indian tribes, the river systems and some place names along the eastern and southern coastline. Fancy titling and five distance scales. A hint of toning and just a few tiny spots. 8.6 W x 12 H Fremin, A. R. 1840
Lot 93
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. Light toning and with some minor soiling confined to the blank margins. 15 W x 12 H SDUK Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, 1843
