This informative map locates scores of Indian villages, designated by tepee symbols and extends well into Canada, locating numerous Canadian tribes. There is good detail of watersheds and the known mountain ranges throughout. The West is mostly blank and contains erroneous information in the Great Basin region derived from Fremont's map, including an east-west flowing river. An oversized Texas is shown with its northern border extending well into the Rocky Mountains, but it is indistinct at its upper reaches. Of special interest is the depiction of the Buffalo Range that stretches throughout the entire plains region and even into Mexico. The entire Midwest north of the Arkansas River and Texas is labeled "Hostile Ground." Includes the imprint of Catlin at lower left and page number 2 at upper right.

The map is still bound into the apparently complete two-volume Illustrations of the Manners, Customs, and Condition of the North American Indians... that also includes two single-page maps and numerous single-page black & white illustrations throughout. 10th edition published by Henry Bohn in London. Both volumes (264 pp. and 266 pp. respectively) bound in red cloth with decorative gilt illustrations on front covers and spines.

The folding map has minor offsetting, light toning along the left fold, and a short 0.5" binding tear at right. Text and plates are mostly clean and bright with occasional light scattered foxing. Volume 1 contents somewhat loose and the back cover is starting. The spine to volume 2 is cracked and the book is nearly split into two separate sections.
