Mexico

Title:

Mexico

Abstract:

The borders of Texas are curiously oversized, while New Mexico is quite narrow. While the Río Grande, named the Río Bravo del Norte, serves as the southern border with Mexico, Humboldt has the Pecos River serving as the western border rather the Rio Grande, until near Santa Fé. The rest of Texas’s claimed stovepipe is not acknowledged. Overall, the coloration of the map is cautious since the Mexican-American War may not have been concluded when the map was printed. Mexico’s internal and external boundaries are marked in yellow, yet Texas is not listed as one of the Mexican states in the numerical guide.
