Historic maps are a great untapped resource for studying aspects of social, political and diplomatic history, the history of art, and linguistics. These twenty-two maps, eighteen of which are reproduced in full color (22 x 17 inches or smaller), three of which are shown here, will be of value to anyone interested in Texas. They show how various European nations perceived Texas and the Southwest and reflect the struggles for empire in the New World.
