Description
This quite attractive early map of Michigan Territory is Buchon’s French edition of the Carey and Lea Atlas. The western boundary is shown on a line 10° 30' West Longitude from Washington, resulting in Green Bay and a strip of present-day Wisconsin being incorporated into Michigan. Michigan still controls today’s Toledo along the Maumee RiverThe Frontiere Indiennedivides Michigan on a diagonal line plus the Grande River, with the northern portion being shown bare and unoccupied by westerners. The only settlements shown are around Detroit. The initial counties of Michilimakinak, Monroe, Oakland, DeWayne and Macomb are named but are shown without boundaries. There is a road depicted and several battlegrounds from the War of 1812 are located by tiny flag symbols around Detroit. The central map is flanked by three panels of French text providing a detailed history of the region with the total population of 8,496 in seven counties.
