An important map. MS notes and differently colored lines show various proposals advanced during the discussion of the Gadsen Purchase. The United States could have had a great deal more of Mexico had Congress agreed to appropriate the necessary funds. As it is, the final line was modified as shown in pencil on this map. The treaty line of 1848 and 1853 is shown in red. The first US proposal is shown in green stretching across northern Mexico into the Gulf and around and including Baja California. Second proposal in orange did not include Chihuahua but did include Baja. The third proposal would have included the City of Monterey, but not Baja. The fourth proposal is in red and closest to the actual line settled upon. The fifth proposal in blue would have left a rather wavy border over the area of the fourth in red. Also note that in 1845 the Russians owned the area north of San Francisco. The purchase price of this map was $10.00 as noted near the sticker on the back.
