Painting Description
"Map of the State of Texas" is a significant historical cartographic work by David H. Burr, an important cartographer in American history. Created in the early 19th century, Burr's map was one of the earliest detailed representations of Texas, providing valuable insights into the geography, political boundaries, and settlement patterns of the region during a time of significant change and development.
David H. Burr (1803–1875) was an American geographer, cartographer, and surveyor who served as the topographer to the United States Post Office Department and later as the Geographer to the House of Representatives of the United States. Burr's work on Texas is particularly notable because it was produced during a period when the area was undergoing transition from Mexican to Texan control, following the Texas Revolution in 1836.
The "Map of the State of Texas" is characterized by its meticulous detail and accuracy for the time. It includes information on topography, hydrography, settlements, roads, and the locations of various Native American tribes. Burr's map was instrumental for settlers and travelers, as well as for government and military officials who required accurate geographical information for planning and administration purposes.
As a historical document, Burr's map is a valuable resource for historians and researchers studying the early development of Texas. It reflects the state of geographical knowledge at the time and provides a snapshot of Texas in the early stages of its statehood. The map is often referenced in historical texts and has been included in various collections and exhibits related to cartography and Texan history.
Today, original copies of Burr's "Map of the State of Texas" are considered rare and valuable collector's items. Reproductions and digital scans are used for educational purposes and are accessible in libraries, archives, and online platforms specializing in historical maps. The map not only serves as a tool for historical analysis but also as a testament to the skill and impact of David H. Burr as a cartographer.
