"Ohio", Arrowsmith & Lewis

This important early map of Ohio depicts the large land divisions made by Congress shortly after gaining statehood. The state is divided into Indian Lands, Army Lands, Seven Ranges, Virginia Donation Lands, and a French grant. Numerous forts, settlements, battlefields, rivers, portages, and early roads are depicted throughout. The notation Major Truman killed appears in the northwest, depicting the location where Captain Alexander Trueman was killed by Indians while on a peace mission in 1792.
