This GLO map shows the surveying progress in the new Iowa Territory, and is the first GLO map to name Iowa Territory, which had previously been part of Wisconsin Territory. The region is almost completely surveyed with the exception of part of the cession to the west. Iowa would experience population growth from 43,000 in 1840 (as a territory) to 193,000 in 1850 (as a state) and these surveys were the first steps for opening settlement. Engraved by W. J. Stone.
