(United States) A New Map of the United States of America by J.H. Young
This has long been one of our favorite maps of the United States in the territorial period prior to the Gadsden Purchase. California is a state and even is featured with a fine inset of the gold region. Otherwise the west is divided into the territories of Oregon, Washington, Utah, New Mexico, Minnesota, Missouri or Northwest, and Indian Territory. These latter territories became Kansas and Nebraska Territories. The whole region is in fine detail with the various trails all shown including the Spanish Trail and an unusual amount of material on the Indian tribes. The topography follows Fremont but many other sources have been used.
Image size is 16.5x26, full color, decorative border, insets of Gold Region of California and of District of Columbia.
