These three maps are related to the boundary dispute between Michigan and Ohio wherein Ohio refused to allow Michigan's statehood admission until the matter was resolved in Ohio's favor.

South bend of Lake Michigan" 29 x 12.5"; "Ohio Boundary No. 2 Map exhibiting the positions occupied on the Maumee Bay and River…" 36.8 x 18.5"; "Ohio Boundary No. III South bend of Lake Erie" with large inset of Point Pele Upper Canada. 45.5 x 18.5".
