| Note |
Appears to be a reissue of earlier Burr map. This map was probably published by Burr c1842 (Wilkes' track prominently displayed, Oregon boundary not settled in original map) and then used by Haven, with added insets of the RR route, and by cutting the map down the middle of Asia to put North America in the center (see dateline joint). California is colored yellow (no mention of gold other than this hint) and the Gila River boundary is drawn in red (on his copy Wheat says that California is shown as part of Mexico). See the James B. Moore map of 1850 for a similar promotion of the U.S. as the new "center" of the Europe/Asia trade, using the proposed transcontinental railroad as the link. In outline color. Includes text, explanatory keys and table of distances. |

| Note |
Very well executed uncolored map with small vignettes. Leland is probably the Henry Leland mentioned in Appletons' as an artist, although his dates are listed as 1850-1877. The map is dated as 1853 because of the watermark date on the paper. However, the map could have been drawn later. In any event, the name of Henry Leland goes back to the Henry Leland who settled in Massachusetts in 1653 - this H. Leland who made the map is probably from that family. |
