Title:

Mapa de los Estados Unidos Mejicanos: arreglado a la distribucion que en diversos decretos ha hecho del territorio el Congreso General Mejicano

Abstract:

The 1851 Jean-Frédéric Rosa map is regarded as the rarest of the three ‘Treaty Maps’ used to resolve Mexico-United States border disputes, including areas in the Gadsden Purchase. Produced for the Mexican Congreso General by Rosa, the map reflects the recognition of American claims in Texas; Austin’s grant is still labeled as “Concesion hecha a Austin.” The eastern border, the Sabine River, is the same as it had been since 1819. However, following Annexation in 1846, when the United States accepted Texan territorial claims, the southern and western borders were contested as far as Santa Fé. Acquired with the support of the Louise and Floyd Chapman Endowment for Texas History, the Class of ‘62 Cushing Library Endowment, and the Dan & Barbara Clinton ‘52 Endowed Challenge Grant.
