The larger of the two maps, Map of the Country Between the Frontiers of Arkansas and New Mexico, shows Marcy's route from Fort Smith to Santa Fe in 1849, and "was an attempt not only to bring together information obtained from his own explorations, but to show the relation of that country to the areas lying to the north and south and to the west as far as the Colorado River...one of the best maps of the period." (Wheat). The second smaller map shows the territory of the upper Red River explored in 1852. Howes M-276; Sabin 44512; Wagner-Camp 226:3; Wheat Transmississippi 791.
