This map of part of
North America and Central America was drawn and engraved for Thompson's New
General Atlas of 1814. It shows
the locations of many Indian ethnic groups and notes many political sub-units
of Spanish America. Rivers of the
Southwest are included and labeled. California
is presented as a peninsula with its coastline intimately delineated.
The Rio Grande is labeled the Rio Bravo del Norte.
The Rio de las Animas is shown, as is the San Juan River (which is
called the Rio Nabajia). The San
Juan Mountains are called the Sierra de las Gullas.
Santa Fe is prominently shown. Although
Louisiana had been purchased from France in 1807, this map shows it still
separate from the United States. Conical
projection.
This
map forms part of the Cutter World Map Collection, collection C 003, at the Center of Southwest Studies, Fort Lewis
College.
