This is an interesting map of most of the Northwest Territory and Michigan Territory. It has the elongated Lake Michigan and bears some resemblance to Burr's map of 1831. The Ottawa and Miami Indian nations are shown occupying the whole northern part of Michigan and the only settlement in the North West Territory is Green Bay Township along with Fort Howard.
