This map covers all the American West south of 42° N. and west of the Rocky (Anahuac) Mountains. The map offers great detail in California, particularly in the Gold Region. Los Angeles is a tiny Pueblo de los Angelos. The Colorado River has a more accurate course. The map assumingly was largely drawn from Fremont's maps of 1845-8. Uncolored.
