Description

Throughout Europe there was a fascination with the Independent Republic of Texas as well as a keen interest in the rich opportunities that moving to these vast untamed lands offered.

This rare German map depicts the full extent of the Republic of Texas as it was recognized by the United States and European powers of the day, with the border as the Rio Grande River to its source – a claim established by the treaty Santa Anna signed after his defeat at the battle of San Jacinto. Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Taos and the land where Aspen and Vail are now were all in Texas. Several important early Texas towns are noted such as San Felipe De Austin, which was the site on the Brazos River chosen as the headquarters for Stephen F. Austin’s colony.

This captivating map displays Texas on the eve of statehood, showing the other 27 states and the federal districts of the Louisiana Purchase. California and much of the southwest is part of Mexico. In the far northwest corner of the map, the British claim of the Columbia River as the boundary of the United States is also recorded. There is a wealth of information noted across North American including Native American tribes, rivers, towns, forts, missions and other features important to prospective settlers. This fine German map is prized for the precise and delicate engraving as well as careful cartographic detail.
