The map covers Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and the arrowhead of Minnesota and names numerous Indian tribes, forts, and settlements. The National Road and Michigan Road bisect the territory, and several early land grants are identified including the Seven Ranges, Ohio Company, Western Reserve, and Vincennes Tract. The map is surrounded by numerous portraits and vignettes of historical events that are keyed to the map. Blank verso.
