    Issued Philadelphia, 1823 by Matthew Carey & Son for Melish.

    Fine example of this well-known early 19th century engraved map.
    Ink notations dated 1826

    A vast Missouri Territory fills much of the west, with Northwest Territory and Michigan Territory seen abutting it. Arkansas Territory extends across the top of Texas to its panhandle.

    Overall a pleasing example with nice visual impact

    Printed area measures c. 21 1/2" W x 17" H.

    Folio. Original fold line as issued.
    Bought this framed map at an Estate sell in Dallas, was so surprised to have found it for $40. I love old maps

      What a steal! Wish I would come across a Melish map for $40… I hope you reframed it with archival materials!
