These detailed maps are from a report on the examination and survey or the Arkansas River. The first map (41.0 x 8.5") spans from Wichita, Kansas, through Indian Territory and Arkanas, terminating at the Mississippi River. It delineates railroads and identifies Indian land and counties with population figures. The second map (13.6 x 6.4") centers on Fort Smith, established as a frontier military post in 1817. The city is shown in plan form, with nice detail of dikes and wharves.
