  • (Alaska) Northwestern America Showing the Territory Ceded by Russia to the United States

    Published just a few years after it became an American territory, this map of “Northwestern America” shows what is present day Alaska. Original hand color helps distinguish the boundaries of what was our latest acquisition, and shows what little was known of the interior. Russian placenames abound near the southern coast and on the Yukon River, but not much more.

    Condition is very good. Image size is 11.75 x 14.75, full hand color.
