    Showing the continent this map catches an interesting period when west of the Mississippi lay the large territories of the Mandan, as well as other tribes, and beyond the Rockies lay an Oregon Territory. Interestingly the hand coloring to this map shows a Pacific Northwest unlike anything else we can think of. While the west coast is shown as US possession, it is just barely at the British are shown possessing the Puget Sound and all the land bounded by the Columbia, save for an odd coastal bit still held by the US. Does show the Oregon trail as well as many roads amongst the missions of the "Upper Or New California".

    Condition is good with a small manuscript circling near San Fran, otherwise quite nice. Image size is 24.5 x 19.5 (inches), outline hand color.
