• DESCRIPTION: A beautiful and historically important wall map of the United States was issued in Akron Ohio by American regional map publisher Lewis Robinson. This map shows the geographical extent of the United States as it was in 1838: from Texas and the Missouri Territory it extends fully to the East Coast, including parts of Canada. This map curiously features Texas labeled both as part of Mexico and as “Austin’s Colony." Various small east Texas settlements and land grants, including Cameron’s Grant, Burnet’s Grant, Felisola’s Grant, and Vheling’s Grant are indicated. A large Missouri and Wisconsin Territory are shown and many American Indian tribes and villages are noted. Also delineated is a large "F" shaped Iowa. There are inset maps of Washington DC, Boston, South Florida, Philadelphia, New York, Niagara Falls, Cincinnati, and Albany, as well as a number of statistical tables. Map decorated with a patriotic American Eagle title cartouche. This map was first issued in Reading, Vermont, in 1833 with recorded updates in 1835, 1836, 1842, and 1846. This particular impression is unrecorded and notes the Akron, Ohio address.
