Catalogue Note
The coast of the "Republica de Tejas" is featured, with Galveston and Corpus Christi named. This is one of the last Spanish Admiralty charts to show Texas as separate from the Union. There is also very good detail of the mouth of the Mississippi River, with New Orleans and several small towns located along the river.
