This handsome map of the state details the county seats, roads, towns and settlements, and watershed. Development is primarily in the southern portion of the state and mostly along the rivers. Most of the northern half of the state is in the possession of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indian tribes. Three missionary stations are located; Monroe in Chickasaw territory, and Elliot and Mayhew in Choctaw territory. The Old Natchez Road, Robinson Road and Jackson's Road are located, along with several new roads in the south. Engraved by Young & Delleker.
