This detailed map depicts Missouri with the counties named and in outline color. The entire region west of the state is labeled Indian District – with numerous Indian tribes located. Topographical features are shown with various water routes, cities and towns identified. 

Missouri, statehood 1821, was in the midst of early development with most of the population located on the traffic along the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers. The Lamotte Mines (Madison County) and Stone Coal  (Callaway County) are noted. A very interesting and very scarce view of the region as it existed in the 1830’s.
