Title: Vereinigte staaten in Nord America nach den besten hulfsmittel verfast. Publication: 'Allgemeiner Hand=Atlas zum Gebrauch für die Jugend in hohern und niedern Schulen, fur Kaufleute und zeitungsleser...': Publisher Joseph Dirwaldt, Vienna 1818.


This fascinating, scarce map of the young United States shows the original 13 states with the new additions of Vermont, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, and New Orleans (?). Louisiana (1812), Indiana (1816), Mississippi (1817), Illinois (1818) and Michigan (1837) are noted as not being constituted States. Among the more notable features of the map are the many interesting mountain ranges in the Plains regions, the early appearance of Michigan Territory, a distorted Indiana and Illinois pushed far to the west, the districts west of the Mississippi River, including New Orleans, Abcansas, Lawrence, Girardeau and St. Louis, and the profusion of Indian Tribes shown. An early appearance of the city of Galveson. The old Spanish Districts of Howard, St. Louis, Cap Girardeau, Lawrence, and Arcansas are marked in the present-day states of Missouri and Arkansas. The map provides excellent detail of towns, settlements, and early roads.
