    Map of North America, Exhibiting the recent discoveries., Geographical & Nautical

    Visual Materials

    Kashnor notes, "A good map of California and the North-West, locating San Francisco, Hyerba Buena, Santa Barbara, Lake Yentaw, &c. Shows Oregon with boundary, but the coast, colored red as if British, south of the Columbia, and locates Clatsop, Forts Vancouver, Nezperces, Okanagan, and Colville." Kashnor dates ca. 1840, RLIN record dates as 1854, however state of information inland from San Francisco indicates earlier date as more probable. Also the 48th parallel border between Canada and the United States extending only to the Rocky Mountains. See also 105:240M. Prime meridian: GM. Relief: hachures. Graphic Scale: Miles. Projection: Azimuthal. Printing Process: Engraving. Verso Text: MS note: 239.

    Map of North America, Exhibiting the recent discoveries., Geographical & Nautical

    Visual Materials

    Kashnor notes, "Shows the Oregon boundary according to the treaty. Shows almost a continuous coastline from Cape Barrow to the mouth of the Fish River, locating Dease and Simpson's discoveries." Kashnor dates [1846], RLIN record dates as 1854, however state of information inland from San Francisco indicates earlier date as more probable. The 48th parallel border between Canada and the United States has been extended by coloring, not a printed correction. This map seems identical to 105:239M except for this hand correction.
