A striking county map of the territory showing Bismarck as the capitol and the location of Military and Indian Reservations, railroads, the extent of Northern Pacific Railroad land grants, cities, towns, county seats, and more. The majority of the western portion of the territory is devoted to Indian Reservations. Economic development is still largely limited to the eastern portion of the territory. By 1880 cattlemen [many from Texas] occupied most of Dakota's range land. A large, detailed and beautifully lithographed map by J. Bien.
