A map of the west coast from Oregon (in the top left corner) to California, New Mexico, Texas, and Mexico (with Oaxaca and Vera Cruz in the lower right corner. A small box on the lower left corner displays the Yucatan Penninsula with sections of Gutaemala and Cuba). Former and current boundaries, including the 42nd degree Boundary of 1819 and the United States and Great Britain Boundary of 1846, are noted by dotted lines. Also recorded on this map are the locations of Native American groups, such as the Navajos in Upper California, the Apaches in New Mexico and Comanches in Texas. Major rivers, states, cities, and forts are listed and often connected by a line to show the routes taken by American troops and settlers such as: General Kearney, the US cavalry (Arkansas, Tennessee and Kentucky), General Quitman, Lietenant Colonel Philip St. George Cooke's wagon road, General Taylor, General Patterson and Doniphan, and the Santa Fe and Oregon Trails. [This is a page from the book "The Twelve Months Volunteer, or Journal of a Private in the Tennessee Regiment of Cavalry, in the Campaign in Mexico, 1846-7..." by author and artist George C. Furber, who compiled notes and sketches from first-hand observations on site or from additional sources]
