Description
This finely detailed map of the United States was drawn by John Drayton, who based it on an earlier issue by Henry Tanner, and published around 1838. The image captures the United States at a pivotal period in westward expansion.
Michigan was admitted as a state the year prior to publication, while this is one of the earliest maps that includes the newly formed Iowa Territory. The eastern portion of the independent Republic of Texas can be seen in the lower left, adjacent to an expansive Indian Territory.
Native American tribes, various sizes of towns and settlements, and prominent geographic features are labeled throughout the image. An inset map in the lower right includes the southern portion of Florida, largely vacant of any interior detail.
