An impressive 1836 Phelps and Squire map of the United States with an inset of the newly formed Republic of Texas. This map is a much revised and updated variant on the 1817 Varlé map, and more specifically, the 1832 Stebbins / Varlé reissue. It stands out for its inclusion of the Republic of Texas as an inset - the Republic was declared shortly before this map was published. The map also illustrates U.S. claims to British Columbia - part of the Oregon Question or 54-40 border debate between the United States and British North America. (more details)
