This handsome map includes all of the eastern United States to the oversized Arkansas Territory. Towns and cities, mountains, rivers, Indian tribes, and more are identified. Wisconsin and Minnesota are together called North West Tery., with Western Territory appearing farther west. Michigan Territory is shown as well as the relatively new states Alabama (admitted as a state in 1819), Maine (1820), and Missouri (1821). A sliver of Texas is referred to as Spanish Province of Texas. Published in the William Darby edition of Brookes' Universal Gazetteer by Bennett & Walton.
