Map of North America, showing the... positions of Texas and Oregon with the United States
Map of North America, showing the relative positions of Texas and Oregon with the United States, 1845. It may...be requisite to subjoin here a few leading details of the Oregon Territory and its extent...On the east it skirts 800 miles along the Rocky Mountains, on the south 300 miles along the Snowy Mountains, on the west 700 miles along the Pacific Ocean, on the north 250 miles along the North American possessions of Russia and England...If America contends that a proprietary title has been acquired by the first visitations and explorations of her citizens, she can only be entitled to a very small portion of the territory; inasmuch as her citizens have visited but a very small portion of the country - the greater part of it having been pre-visited by the agents of the Hudsons Bay Company, who are the subjects of Great Britain.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed map of North America from 1845, highlighting the relative positions of Texas and Oregon within the United States. The engraving, sourced from "Illustrated London News", provides valuable insights into the disputed territory during that time. The map reveals intriguing geographical features, with the eastern boundary stretching for 800 miles along the majestic Rocky Mountains. To its south lies a 300-mile stretch alongside the Snowy Mountains, while on its western edge it spans an impressive 700 miles along the vast Pacific Ocean. On its northern border, it extends for 250 miles adjacent to Russian and English possessions in North America. The caption also sheds light on conflicting claims over this contested land. While American citizens argue for proprietary rights based on their explorations, they have only ventured into a small portion of this vast territory. The majority had already been explored by agents of Great Britain's Hudson's Bay Company. This print not only serves as a historical artifact but also highlights political tensions surrounding territorial disputes in nineteenth-century North America. It offers viewers a glimpse into Victorian-era cartography and industrial advancements in newspaper press technology. Overall, this print invites us to reflect upon past geopolitical complexities while appreciating how far our understanding of these territories has evolved since then.
