Description

Rare map of the US, including the Northwest Territory, Missouri, Territory, Mississippi Territory, Alabama Territory, Michigan Territory and Illinois Territory named within the map. Lots of Indian Tribes shown in the West. Curious shape for Louisiana. Apparently a proof example (with the proof notation in the lower right corner). The first time we have ever seen this map.
