This large map depicts, by coloring and numeric key, those lands owned and ceded by the Cherokee Indians. The map shows the former territorial limits of the Cherokee Nation between the Ohio and Tennessee Rivers and the Appalachian Mountains. It depicts the various cessions made by them to the United States up to their removal to west of the Mississippi. The title continues "Also the Boundaries of the Territories Now Occupied Or Owned by Them" and lists cessions number 37 through 47, and the Treaties of May 6, 1828 and July 19, 1866. The map also includes a small section of Public Lands, Kansas and Arkansas, showing many villages, forts and Indian Agencies.
