This handsome map of the state details the county seats, roads, towns and settlements, and watershed. Development is primarily in the southern portion and mostly along the rivers with virtually no other settlements noted. The huge Choctaw Indians region occupies the middle section. In it are noted three missionary stations: Mayhew, Elliott and Monroe, plus the Old Agency. The map shows 18 counties plus the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indian areas. Engraved by Young & Delleker.
