A most fascinating 1811 John Russell map of North America with an intriguing mapping of Great Salt Lake issued just prior the development of the Western Fur Trade and the seminal explorations of Zebulon Pike (1779 - 1813), Stephen Harriman Long (1874 - 1864), and Jedidiah Smith (1799 - 1831). The map postdates the Lewis and Clark Expedition (1803 - 1806), but reconnaissance from that voyage is nowhere in evidence. Instead, the map details the dubious voyage of 'Mr. Lawrence' (see below). Coverage from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean and from Baffin Bay and northern Canada to the extreme northern reaches of South America. The extreme northern portion of North America, above the Arctic Circle, is incomplete, but the Arctic coast is slowing being filled in. The map further identifies the first two European overland expeditions to the North American Arctic, those of Herne and Mackenzie. The United States, still limited to the lands east of the Mississippi and north of Florida, has 15 states, reflecting the addition of Vermont (1791) and Kentucky (1792). (more details)
