A large map of Mexico and the republics of Central America. The map was issued just about a decade after Mexico lost the northern parts of the country to the expanding United States. In the defining wars of the 1840s Mexico lost what is now Texas, California, Arizona, New Mexico, parts of Colorado, Utah and Nevada. In 1853 Mexico sold what is now the southern part of Arizona to the United States. The borders of 1853 are still the same.
