The present example focuses on the eastern portion of the country in the early days of the Mexican-American War. In the year of this map's publication, Texas joined the Union leading to U.S. invasion of Mexican California and the subsequent events of the Mexican-American War.
Mitchell derived this map from an earlier map of Michigan by H. S. Tanner, whose plates he acquired in 1846. engraved by H. N. Burroughs for publication as plate no. 5 in the 1846 first edition of S. A. Mitchell's New Universal Atlas.
