In time he created a map publishing business that would make him and later his son among the most prominent American map publishers of the 19th century. Mitchell collaborated with prominent mapmakers and expert engravers of the day, including James H. Young and Henry S. Tanner. In this way, Mitchell ensured that his maps were of the utmost quality. During the 1850s, Mitchell partnered with Thomas, Cowperthwait & Company to publish his "A New Universal Atlas and his General Atlas". In 1860, his son Samuel Augustus Mitchell Jr. inherited the Mitchell Company from his father. Among the pioneers of engraving on steel plates, the company specialized in school atlases and wall maps of America for more than thirty years.

SAMUEL A. MITCHELL MAP OF TEXAS, OREGON AND CALIFORNIA
Est: $10,000 - $15,000
MITCHELL, Samuel Augustus (1790-1868). A New Map of Texas, Oregon and California with Regions adjoining... Engraved map with original hand color. Philadelphia: S. A. Mitchell, 1846. 21 1/2" x 20 1/2" visible, 37" x 30" framed. Comparable: Swann, 2022 - $10,000; Dorothy Sloan, 2005 - $17,250. Mitchell’s important map and guide book in Western American history. Mitchell drew on the latest and most accurate sources for this map, including Arrowsmith's 1841 map of Texas, Emory's map of the area, Lewis & Clark expedition data, and Wilkes map of Oregon. The Upper Rio Grande is shown as Texas territory though they were soon given up under the Great Compromise of 1850. Mitchell’s guidebook and map were notably popular among emigrants and, in many cases, it was likely the only map they brought with them as they made the arduous trip west.

Samuel Augustus Mitchell (American, 1792-1868), "Map of Mexico, Including Yucatan & Upper California, exhibiting the Chief Cities and Towns, the Principal Travelling Routes &c.", Philadelphia, 1847, third issue, hand-colored lithograph pocket map, with inset map of "Battle Field of Monterey"; "Map of the Principal Roads..." and "Profile of the Road between Mexico and Vera Cruz", 32 1/4 in. x 23 3/4 in. Ref.: Rumsey, 4594. Note: This pocket map was produced by Mitchell to satisfy the publics interest in the Mexican American War, which resulted from the United States annexation of the newly independent Texas in 1845, territory which Mexico claimed as its own. This third issue is larger and more up-to-date than either predecessor, including the additional map showing the principal roads accessing Mexico City from Vera Cruz and a road profile. This information was vital for the final U.S. assault on Mexico City, which had not yet occurred at time of publication. Mexico City fell in October and led to the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in February 1848, which ended the question of US/Texas sovereignty in the region. Additionally, Mexican control from California to New Mexico was lost as well, paving the way for additional westward expansion by the U.S. Ref.: Rumsey, 4594.
