Illinois, Indiana and Ohio are misplaced on this odd little map, with Indiana placed directly beneath Lake Michigan. The Northwest Territory occupies the area that would become Wisconsin, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and a portion of Minnesota. Missouri Territory takes in the whole region west of the Mississippi River except for Louisiana. On the frontier, there are a number of early settlements named along with a few forts and Indian villages. Southern Florida is shown in an inset at the lower right and the title is emblazoned onto a globe as an interesting decorative element.
