Hand-colored lithographed map, 31.5 x 38.7 cm. Nicely colored map of Mexico, including most of Texas, Louisiana, and a bit of Southern California around San Diego. Interestingly, Arizona and the souther part of New Mexico are shown, but Arizona is shown as a strip which stretches from the Texas border to California along the Mexican border -- basically the Gadsden Purchase -- and New Mexico is shown above it. (This configuration of Arizona would later be claimed by the Confederacy as part of their territory.) There is an inset of the Isthmus of Tejuantepec on the bottom left. These details aid in dating the map to about 1854, while the negotiations about the Gadsden Purchase were being finalized, negotiations which included permission for the US to build a railroad across the Isthmus -- this was never granted in the final treaty. This early version -- perhaps the earliest -- of Johnson's map does not appear in OCLC, although there are two copies of the later 1862 map; only one copy of this version of this map, the earliest dated, shown at auction. The coloring is very nice, bright. Map is near fine condition.
