This is a rare 1821 C. F. Weiland map of the United States, including the ephemeral Mexican state of Texas. The map is graphically suggestive of either an independent Texas or a Texas as part of the United States, thus presaging the Texan Revolution, the borders claimed by the Republic of Texas, and the Mexican-American War. It illustrates Texas's brief period of semi-provincehood following Mexican Independence but before the 1824 ratification of the Mexican Constitution, which merged Texas with Coahuila. This is thus one of the first maps, if not the first, to present a modern, recognizable Texas. This is also one of the few maps to name the ephemeral Bonapartist colony of Champ d'Asile (Champ d'Asyle; 1818 - 1819), located in South Texas on the Trinity River. (more details)
