This beautiful map, commissioned in 1986 to commemorate the Texas Sesquicentennial and drawn by artist and master cartographer John Davis, depicts Texas nationhood like no other. Featuring the original 36 counties of the Republic, 78 Spanish land grants along the Rio Grande (present day New Mexico) and the most accurate study published of the Santa Fe Trail (across the Great Plains from St. Louis to Santa Fe), this is a wonderful historical resource and a genuine work of art. Copyright 1987. Printed on sturdy, art-gallery quality parchment stock, it is especially suited for framing. Also available with Barnwood frame or Mahogany frame. Size 26"W x 32"H. A beautiful addition to any office, den or foyer. A gift to last a lifetime!
