This is Timothy Ensign's 1829 map of the United States - one of the earliest to illustrate the United States stretching to the Pacific. Generally known as the 'Washington Map' for the portrait of George Washington in the lower right, Ensign's map covers the United States from Oregon to the Atlantic and from Canada to Mexico. As this map predates the Texas Revolution, the Mexican American War, and the 1846 Treaty of Guadeloupe-Hidalgo, all of the southwest, including California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and Texas are part of Mexico.

This is the 1848 issue of the first state of Phelps's map of the United States. The map was issued during the Mexican-American War (1846 - 1848), and as such captures an ephemeral moment in American history: after Texas joined the Union, but before the Treaty of Guadeloupe-Hidalgo and the annexation of Upper California.
