I was not trying to be critical at all of the map. It is a fine map.

I just wanted to supplement the fact that if that territory to the northwest of central Mexico had not been claimed by Spain, it would not be part of the Mexican Empire (and after the empire fell, the Mexican Republic).

The land was New Spain before it was a country called 'Mexico'.

I will look for maps made prior to 1821 when it was officially still part of Spain. Remember, my interests are on the peninsula, so my collection deals mostly where one can see details of Baja California.

1701:



1765:


"New" Mexico for the land north of Old Mexico (near Mexico City).

Here is one from 1768:



1780:



1811:



1845:

160 Acres - My grandfather inherited the family farm in Missouri. He passed away in the 90's and farm went into family trust. My father passed away last year and the land assets had to be liquidated so the trust could be distributed. While we were getting all the paperwork together to sell the land we had to find a copy of the original deed. The deed states that 160 acres are given to the survivors of my distant relative who was KIA March of 1812. Deed is dated July 1, 1865 and signed by President Abraham Lincoln.

An 1987 map produced by National Geographic show with several maps how and when the country achieved what the Continental Congress set out in the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, as a orderly movement to span North America. Several major expansions including the Louisiana Purchase from France, led America closer to consolidate their east to west ambitions, and Mexico would win the Ordinance for the north, in their loss.
