This interesting school atlas map of the United States stretches to the Rocky Mountains and shows Texas as a part of Mexico. A large Missouri Territory covers the middle of the country and is filled with Indian districts, including the Sioux, Mandan, Osage and Ozark tribes. The Upper Peninsula and present-day Wisconsin are shown as District of Huron and noted as "attached to Michigan." Arkansas is still a territory. A legend identifies capitals, important, large, and smaller towns, courthouses, missions, canals, forts, and colleges and universities. At bottom right is a table showing distances between Washington, D.C. and the principal cities of each state, with population figures.
