The map depicts the states of Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana and Indian nations bordering them to the west. It locates many military forts and outposts from Ft. Jessup to Ft. Snelling with notations throughout, concerning lands ceded by several Indian nations with the dates of the treaties. It was drawn by W. Hood and was issued in conjunction with a similar proposal by Charles Gratiot (see lot 148). This map is the original issue and not to be confused with the re-issued version from the American State Papers, circa 1860.
