Note:
The map extends west to the beginning of Texas. There are three inset maps: Western U.S., Southern Part of Florida, and Oregon. Under the title is a beautiful eagle and globe cartouche, floating on clouds above an America bristling with "improvements," such as steamships, railroads, factories, etc. The ornamental border incorporates statistical information on all the States. This is a later edition of our 1847 copy, #1823.000 The copyright date is 1845. Karrow 1-1550 is the same map with no Oregon inset map. WIth full color by county, states outlined in dark pink. Originally a wall map but no longer with top and bottom rollers.
Reference:
cf Karrow 1-1550 (1846, listed under Wm. S. Barnard).
