A very well engraved and colored map that extends beyond the Mississippi River. Indiana is directly below Lake Michigan and Illinois Territory is farther west with a large North West Territory located above. West of the Mississippi is a large Missouri Territory stretching northwards from Louisiana. Detailed enough to show major roads, cities, forts and Indian tribes.
