The Republic of Texas, 1844

The Republic of Texas, 1844

Published by the United States War Department, this map was part of the accompanying documentation sent to the Senate in 1844 when the Texas annexation treaty was debated. The Republic of Texas covered much of present-day New Mexico including Santa Fe, Albuquerque and Taos as well as parts of Colorado that cover many of the popular ski resorts. Another interesting historical note: the area north of present-day Oklahoma is shown as "Proposed NE-BRAS-KA Territory". This beautiful reproduction is printed on heavy parchment style paper that is excellent for framing.
