This is not before colonialism, pay close attention to the names of the countries, it looks like it was drawn up by American colonials wishing to highlight Liberia. The text book source would be coo if you could provide it so we can have more details.

Lander, looks like the work was commissioned, by U.S. Congress, in 1858. The note to that effect is at the bottom.
