This precisely engraved map of the western United States shows existing, proposed and "extinguished" Indian lands via a color-coded key. The map also shows Indian agencies, Army outposts, towns, railroads and Yellowstone National Park. The map is still bound into the 394 pp. annual report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs.
