TITLE/CONTENT OF MAP: 'NORTH AMERICA, SHEET V., The North West and Michigan Territories'
The map was originally engraved in 1833 (this date is printed on the map) and it depicts the area shown as at that date, although this edition was published in 1844. The map names "Michigan Territory", as it existed prior to 1837 when it was admitted to the Union as the state of Michigan. West of Lake Michigan, what is now the US state of Wisconsin is named as "Huron or North West Territory". This area became a territorial possession of the United States in 1783 after the American Revolutionary War. However, the British remained in control until after the War of 1812, which finally established an American presence in the area. An influx of miners into the area led to tension with American Indian tribes. This resulted in the Winnebago War of 1827 and the Black Hawk War of 1832 which led to the forced removal of American Indians from most parts of the state. Following these conflicts, Wisconsin Territory was organized in 1836. Continued white settlement led to statehood in 1848. Indian settlements, villages and tribes existing in 1833 are marked on the map as tipi (teepee) symbols, along with some mines and mineral deposits. The Indian boundary concluded in the second and third Treaties of Prairie du Chien of 1829, in which Native American Tribes ceded land in present day Wisconsin and Illinois, is marked on the map as the "Indian Boundary of 1829". Also marked on the map in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan is the "Indian Boundary" resulting from the 1821 Treaty of Chicago and the 1819 Treaty of Saginaw. Fort Crawford & Chicago are marked on the map.
