annotates: Shows the United States and adjacent land north to Hudson Bay and south to Guadalajara. Melish's map is a landmark cartographic work that provides a comprehensive and detailed representation of the United States and its neighboring territories during the early 19th century. This map is particularly significant for its depiction of the young nation’s boundaries and the surrounding British and Spanish colonial possessions, reflecting the geopolitical landscape of North America in the aftermath of the War of 1812. Mobile is within the Mississippi Territory. No Indigenous towns are shown in the Mobile Bay area. Boundaries of Indigenous groups and ceded lands are highlighted.
