An uncommon and interesting survey map of the region of present-day Mississippi based on work completed by C.A. Bradford. It presents the official surveying progress throughout Mississippi, utilizing a series of letters and icons with an explanation below the map image. It shows lands ceded by the Choctaw Indians in 1830, as well as the old tribal boundaries of 1822. The northern boundary is labeled Boundary Line Between the Choctaw and Chickasaw Cessions. Only a handful of towns are identified, such as Jackson, Vicksburg, and Columbus.
