Tallis, 1848?. Colored map 25 x 33 cm. Scale ca. 1:14,400,000. From Tallis's Illustrated Atlas and Modern History of the World, London, New York, J. & F. Tallis, 1848?. [G4410 1847 R2].
- Description:
- Another milestone in Southwestern history, in 1848 the United States acquired much of its southwestern territory from Mexico through the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Tallis attempted to update a presumably older engraved map by outlining the ceded territory with a green boundary line. For the Arizona-Sonora region there is no improvement in cartography. Tucson is back to being spelled "Toyson". The appearance of "Pimería Alta" on the map is apparently the latest use of the name Pimería on a published map. Rapkin drew and engraved maps for John Tallis, a London publisher.
