Description

Wonderful wide margined example of this scarce map of Mexico, Upper California, and Texas, etc. showing the boundaries of the Western US immediately after the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.

The shap of Nuovo California or Territorio di Yutah is especially interesting, blending a mix of conjectural and pre-Fremont cartographic knowledge, including a prominent Lake Timanagos and Lake Teguayo and a curious range of mountains called Monte S. Giuseppe, which create the source of the major rivers flowing into San Francisco Bay.

The early Upper California Missions are noted. Texas is shown in its Republic configuration. Early Indian Tribes named. A striking visual map.

Only the 2nd example of this map we have ever seen.
