First Edition. Large Oblong Folio. Cloth, 25pp. A series of 24 maps each showing a detailed map of the boundary between the United States and today's Canada.

The maps begin in northern Minnesota and run west to the continental divide. Professionally bound for a previous owner, and it appears to have been trimmed slightly at the time of binding. Maps not affected in any way. Ex-library copy with small rubber-stamp imprints in 2 non-obtrusive locations. Binding near fine. Maps show occasional light soiling and slight edgewear to some pages around the edges. The images of the maps themselves near fine.
