Presents an array of early maps of Texas, dating from 1561 to 1860. The painstaking labours of Spanish, French, English, and Mexican mapmakers illustrate the progressive and differing views of Texas geography and boundaries. These maps staked new claims, fueled by new dreams, on new territory that settlers had heard about but never seen.
