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...

1828 "Map of the United States" by T. Ensign
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
Presented is Timothy Ensign’s “Map of the United States,” published in 1828. The map is one of the first to show the United States stretching all the way to the Pacific Ocean. The map’s area covers Oregon to the Atlantic Ocean and Canada to Mexico. It also features a very prominent engraved portrait of George Washington, with inset views and maps of the Capitol, Washington, DC, Boston and a small map of North America.
Because this map predates the Texas Revolution, the Mexican American War, and the 1846 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, Mexico comprises much of the southwest, including California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and Texas. And yet, by including the large expanse of territory between the Mississippi River and the Pacific, the map is a mirror of American expansionist ambitions of the time.
Territorial expansion of the boundaries of the United States westward to the Pacific and beyond was at its peak at the time of this map’s publication. In 1803, President Thomas Jefferson’s Louisiana Purchase doubled the size of the country and the Lewis & Clark expedition of 1803-1806 sparked interest in the exploration and settlement of the newly acquired land. Expansionists eager to acquire Spanish Florida were part of the drive for the War of 1812 and Andrew Jackson’s invasion of Florida in 1818 and the subsequent Adams-Onís Treaty established an American claim to the Pacific Northwest as Spain renounced its claim to the Oregon Country...

1846 Antique Map of Texas, Oregon, California, and Regions Adjoining by Mitchell
By Samuel Augustus Mitchell 1
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
This is a finely colored example of the 1846 version of Mitchell's seminal map of Texas, Oregon Territory, California, and the Transmississippi West. Published in 1846 from Philadelphia, Mitchell's map of the West was one of the first large-format commercially published maps to show the Transmissisippi West, after the annexation of Texas in 1845. The map was perhaps the single most popular map of the period, used by gold seekers, immigrants, and others whose lives, fortunes, and attentions were focused Westward at the outset of the Mexican-American War.
Beginning in 1846, the Transmississippi West was of particular interest to the American populace, as a result of two recent and related events. In 1845, Texas was admitted to the Union. This prompted Mexico to invade Texas in 1846, thus starting the U.S.-Mexican War. General curiosity about the new state as well as interest in the war led to Mitchell's timely map becoming quite popular.
As stated in the "Accompaniment to Mitchell's new map of Texas, Oregon and California...," in which the map was sometimes issued, Mitchell used the latest and best cartographic sources for the map, including Arrowsmith's 1841 map of Texas, Fremont's and Emory's maps of their explorations in the region, compiled data from the Lewis & Clark expedition, Nicollet's map of the region between the Mississippi and the Missouri, and Wilkes map of Oregon...
