  1847 (dated)         1 : 1500000 Description This is William Hemsley Emory s seminal 1848 map of the American Southwest. Depicting from Forth Leavenworth, Kansas (then in Missouri) to the west coast, the map follows Emory s military reconnaissance through the territory newly-acquired by the United States from Mexico. Emory marks his progress on a daily basis and highlights positions determined through Astronomical Observation. He also includes commentary on the terrain and marks the Battle of San Pasquale and the Skirmish of December 7th.

Emory s route, but since Emory was meticulous in his astronomical observations and because of his extreme care not to include mere imaginary geography , the map possesses an importance much greater than many of the more showy performances of the period.
