Copper-engraved map, hand-colored. 42.5x53.7 cm (16¾x21¼"). The United States extending west across the continental divide, a reduced version of Melish's important map engraved by Benjamin Tanner and published by Mathew Carey & Son for C. V. Lavoisne's atlas. It provides a detailed view of the Missouri River and the headwaters of the Columbia River based on information from Lewis and Clark's expedition. Texas is separately delineated with its border with Mexico conforming to Melish's map of 1816 - following the Rio Grande up to the Rio Puerco, and then a dotted line that reconnects with the Rio Grande just north of Taos. This is an uncommon configuration, as most examples of this map show Texas as definitely a part of Mexico. he new state of Missouri is shown with a straight western border. Michigan Territory includes the eastern part of present-day Wisconsin, which is still a part of the North West Territory. The large Arkansas Territory takes in most of present-day Oklahoma.
