A FUNDAMENTAL TEXAS MAP. POPULAR ISSUE AVAILABLE TO EARLY TEXAS SETTLERS

COPPER ENGRAVING.  Attractive national map with small flying eagle vignette above title clutching shield and olive branch in its talons. This is the small Melish national map, not to be confused with the large wall map he published about this time that shows the entire continent. Melish apparently took his 1820 map and improved it to 1822. While Wheat (Transmississippi west, 338) mentions the earlier, he did not mention this issue. This is one of the earliest of the small Melish U.S. maps that defines the new Texas boundaries accepted by the United States in the treaty signed 22 Feb. 1819. It was proclaimed 22 Feb. 1821. It is also one of the first maps defining Texas under the Spanish-U.S. boundary agreement and available to Austin's earliest authorized settlers from the United States. The Texas coast from Brownsville to Fort Matagorda lie within the Intendancy of San Louis Potosi. The entire map locates Indian tribes, forts, military bounty lands, and territorial status. Most of the west is included within the Missouri Territory. Important for showing a few Lewis & Clark report sites; his entire route is traced on the 6-sheet wall map which underwent continual revision so that there are over twenty known states. Ristow pp.168-9. Encapsulated. Some browning. 16"H. x 19.5"W. GOOD. $1,500.00. I.D.#23879.

Matagorda, Nacagdoches, Panee Village, Cardo Vil(lage), Haytones (with little triangles at the head of the Rio Brazos), and Galvezton (sic) well inland on the Rio de Nieves or Neches.

Missouri has its present boundaries except the boot heel is not yet clearly defined. Subdued pastel coloring. Wheat 338. Contemporary with the classic Melish wall map that shows the entire continent, a paragon now bringing $125,000. Slight margin stains. 16.75"H. x 21.5"W. GOOD. I.D.#23747. SOLD.
