Description
This interesting and informational map of Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, and the Indian Territory (modern-day Oklahoma) was published in an atlas by Jones & Hamilton around 1875. Vibrant original color, applied by hand using a stencil, distinguishes the county outlines across each state, themselves defined by heavy red outlines.
Railroads feature prominently throughout the image, though there is an evident dearth across the large southeastern region. Toponyms identify a fascinating variety of locations of interest (towns, forts, Native American villages, etc.) while annotations provide additional information on local natural resources, geographic features, and (exaggerated) land cessions in the Indian Territory.
