Beautifully framed replica of the rare antique Republic of Texas hand-colored lithograph map by John Arrowsmith. One of the cornerstones of any Texas map collection with seals of the Republic of Texas and General Land Office, "Recognized as an Independent State by Great Britain 16th Novr. 1840". This map accurately reflects the western border of Texas as being the Rio Grande River to its source, a claim established by the treaty signed by Santa Anna after his defeat at the battle of San Jacinto. At the time of publication these maps reflected the cutting edge of information about the rapidly growing country, which had been officially recognized by the United Kingdom in November of 1840 as a sovereign government. The early land grants which had been established under Mexican rule were being rapidly transformed into the first counties. Rivers and topographic details, including the Cross Timbers, a natural barrier that would protect the Dallas area from roving bands of Comanche, are clearly marked. Throughout Texas and in the lands to the north, the territories of various Indian tribes are noted, and the western segment of the Santa Fe Trail is also recorded. In the panhandle, a large area is marked off with the notation of a supposed survey in 1833 by Le Grand, who reported that the entire area, which included most of eastern New Mexico and the Texas panhandle, as being: "naturally fertile, well wooded and with a fair proportion of water" in an effort to support a land development scheme to lure settlers to the area.
