Melish’s comments on his
1816 map of the United
StatesTo present the country this way was desirable . . .
The map shows at a glance the whole extent of the
United States territory from sea to sea.
In tracing the probable expansion of the human
race from east to west, the mind finds an agreeable
resting place on its western limits. The view is
complete and leaves nothing to be wished for. It
also adds to the beauty and symmetry of the map.
