John Arrowsmith (English, 1790-1873), "Map of Texas, compiled from Surveys recorded in the Land Office of Texas and other Official Surveys", published "17 April 1841", London, second (Kennedy) state, copper-engraved map, with original outline color, sheet 24 1/2 in. x 20 1/2 in., attractively matted and framed Note: Arrowsmith's map was probably the first to show the full extent of Texas' claim to the region of the upper Rio Grande, an area included within Texas' boundaries until the Compromise of 1850. The map includes two insets, one showing the geographical relationship of Mexico, Texas and the United States; and the other showing Galveston Bay, with soundings illustrating for the traveler the best route to the new city of Houston. As one of the earliest maps to contain information from the General Land Office of Texas, the map located Indian tribes, major roadways, and included editorial comments for the benefit of future travelers to Texas."
