Description: If you want a comprehensive geographical look of theAmerican Midwestin the 1870's on one double sided double folded mapthis is it.Four great detailed original antique Mitchell Maps in very good condition(scarce) Map № XIVOhio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa & MissouriVery few Mitchell maps shows this constellation of middle America in one large mapwhich measures 11.5" x 18.5"The map is undated but it can be dated by the configuration of the states' counties. For example, in the state of Iowa:In May 17,1870, Crocker County was created from Kossuth County but on Dec.11,1871, it was eliminated.*Since Crocker is shown as a county in Iowa (see photo) the map can be dated ca.1870. Map № XVDakota Territory & Minnesota When Minnesota became a state in 1858, the leftover area between the Missouri River and Minnesota's western boundary fell unorganized. In 1861 this area (shown in the map) along with a large portion of Nebraska Territory was split off to create the organized incorporated territory of Dakota. The Territory of Dakota existed from March 2, 1861, until November 2, 1889, when the final extent of the reduced territory was split and admitted to the Union as the states of North and South Dakota. The smaller portions of the Nebraska Territory was transferred to Colorado Territory (1861) and Idaho Territory (1863) before the balance of the land became the State of Nebraska in 1867. Shown in Dakota is the Sisseton Indian ReservationThe Reservation was created by treaty on April 22, 1867 and called the Flatiron Reservation, in reference to its triangular shape. It was created for the "friendly Dakota" from the Minnesota hostilities of 1862-1866. Signatories of the treaty were Gabriel Renville, John Otherday plus twenty-one other Sisseton and Wahpeton leaders. Gabriel Renville was the first Chief of the Reservation. The reservation is the homeland of the federally recognized Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate, a branch of the Santee Dakota group of Native Americans. Most of the reservation covers what is now parts of five counties in northeastern South Dakota, while smaller parts are in two counties in southeastern North Dakota, United States.
