This is an uncommon German edition of Melish’s important map, depicting the United States from the eastern seaboard west to the Rockies and a portion of the Great Basin. The Northwest Territory occupies the area that would become Wisconsin and a portion of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and Minnesota. Missouri is now a state with a huge unnamed Missouri Territory to its west and north occupying the land all the way to the Columbia River. Despite this being a German map, most of the place names are in English.
