On the lower left Key of the Map states: "The country southwest and west of Monclova is very mountainous and generally destitute of timber. Water is very scarce. The population is confined to the towns and villages. The soil is perfectly sterile except in valleys which can be irrigated. The mountains afford a scanty pasturage for sheep and goats. Very good wheat is raised at San Fernando and Santa Rosa, Monclova, Saltillo, Parras and in their vicinities, and large quantities of wine and brandy are made at the later place, but no cultivation is deemed profitable without irrigation. The temperature of Saltillo is cool owing to its great elevation. Monterrey is very hot. The ancient name of Saltillo has been changed by act of the legislator to LEONA VICARIO.

Throughout the area, towns, rivers, mountains, and political borders are delineated. The only road indicated is the “Great Caravan Route” running from Santa Fe to “Pueblo de los Angeles,” that is, the Santa Fe Trail. Though issued shortly after the Compromise of 1850, Texas is shown with its larger borders extending to the Rio Grande, and thus including Santa Fe and other lands north and east. The map includes also the land to the west of this enlarged Texas, shown as “New or Upper California.” Of particular interest is the depiction, using a keyed yellow wash, of the “newly discovered GOLD districts” in California, just two years after the gold rush of ‘49’. San Francisco is indicated, as is Sutter’s Mill, still called “Nueva Helvetia.” The gold theme appears in one of the three vignettes in which four men pan for gold. A final flourish is the decorative border showing plants from the southwest, including cactus, squash, and melons. This description is included with the map. Makes a great Texas gift.
