Stephen Fuller Austin’s Map of Texas 1836

This is a facsimile collector’s version of Stephen F. Austin’s 1829 Map of Texas. The original map was published in 1830 and was considered the only complete map of Texas at the time. The map was very detailed and included towns, land grants, forts, rivers, colonies, routes, trails, silver mines, Indian tribes and even the herds of wild horses and buffalo throughout the state. The map also covered the Mexican territories of Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon, and Coahuila. The map has a Mexican seal in the lower right-hand corner to show that it was produced under Mexican sovereignty. The map was reissued in 1836 and Stephen F. Austin had the date of April 21, 1836 imprinted on the location of the battle of San Jacinto. Due to this, the 1836 version is very unique. The original 1836 Map of Texas can be found in the archives at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.
