This map was issued in the Annual Report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs to the Secretary of the Interior, and shows the status of Indian Reservations within the western United States in bright orange with large tracts visible in the Dakotas, Montana, Washington, Indian Territory and Arizona. It also identifies Army outposts, towns, railroads, river systems, and Yellowstone National Park. Accompanying the large map is a small folding Pine Ridge Agency map (11 x 7.5") in southern Dakota Territory. It locates Indian houses and settlements, schools, and several roads including a "Public Highway" near the Black Hills. Both maps are still bound into the 512-page report. Hardbound in brown cloth with gilt title on spine.
