United States
In 1843 the United States stopped well short of the Pacific. Texas was still a republic, the Oregon Country was jointly occupied with Britain, and the great territorial questions of the decade were unsettled. That is the country this plate from the 1843 edition of Gilbert’s Modern Atlas was engraved to show.
This map is offered by Map Shop as an ultra-high quality digitally restored print, not an original antique. Map Shop scans the source at high resolution, cleans up defects from the original engraving, and prints each copy on demand.
