This rare early Republican map of Texas may be based partially on the 1835 T.G. Bradford or perhaps William Hooker maps, but with less detail. The author does not reveal the source of the map, but refers to it several times in the book The Texan Emigrant. The map illustrates Texas divided into the various impresario grants, each with it's own outline color. Place locations include "Fort Alamo" and the San Jacinto battleground. Texas is shown in its small, early Republic configuration, without the Panhandle and with the Nueces River as the southwestern boundary, the infamous "Nueces Strip".
