1874 Map of the United States with Territorial Boundaries

About the Item

Title: 1874 Map of the United States with Territorial Boundaries Description: This is an 1874 map titled "Map of the United States," showcasing the country during a period of rapid territorial development. The map illustrates state and territorial boundaries, with clear outlines in orange to delineate different regions. It includes prominent geographical features, major cities, and transportation routes, providing a snapshot of the expanding American landscape in the late 19th century. Notably, some western territories such as Dakota, Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma), and Arizona are shown in their historical forms before gaining statehood. This map is particularly interesting for its depiction of the United States as it appeared during westward expansion, with territories yet to be fully incorporated as states. It captures an important phase in American history when settlement and infrastructure were rapidly evolving across the continent. Condition: The map is in fair condition, with noticeable yellowing due to age and some foxing, particularly along the lower margin. The central fold is visible, suggesting it was part of a larger atlas. There are minor tears along the edges, but they do not interfere with the map's primary details. The orange border coloring has faded slightly but remains distinct enough to differentiate between states and territories. Overall, the map retains its historic charm and legibility, making it a valuable artifact for those interested in American history.

1847 Ornamental Map of the United States & Mexico by H. Phelps
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
Offered is an original 1847 ornamental map of the U.S. entitled "Ornamental Map of the United States & Mexico" by Humphrey Phelps. The map was issued as an act of Congress by Phelps on Fulton Street, New York. The broadside is elaborately hand-colored. This is a very detailed and graphic propaganda map of the United States expressing U.S. dominance of the North American continent. The hand-colored map proclaims the Manifest Destiny, with the recent acquisition of Upper California and Texas at the conclusion of the Mexican-American War. The newly acquired land is boldly colored, standing in stark contrast to the rest of the U.S. The map details a potential route for a railroad running from New York City, to Buffalo, to Chicago, then west along the Oregon Trail to Oregon City. This route anticipates the construction of the transcontinental railroad by nearly 20 years. The map includes elaborately detailed renderings of George Washington, Hernan Cortez, and Montezuma at top to represent European expansion to the Americas. At bottom are four inset designs with text showing the following: a chronological history of the U.S. beginning from settlement to the U.S. victory in the Mexican-American war; an illustration of General Zachary Taylor with details on the Oregon Territory; an illustration of the Aztec Temple of the Sun in Tenochtitlan and a chronology of the Conquest of the Aztec Empire under Cortez; a portrait of General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna...
