    Mitchell's pre-1850 maps are becoming increasingly rare and difficult to obtain. Fine early territorial map of Iowa at a very early development stage, still including a part of southern Minnesota. Interesting map from Mitchell’s New Universal Atlas shows only 31 counties in the eastern half of the state. The remainder of the state is shaded yellow and contains Indian names and a section of the state marked "neutral ground". Iowa became a state on December 28, 1846. The present map still locates the extensive region labeled as Sauks and Foxes, and two other regions locating the Iowas and the Pottawattamies. These regions would disappear from Mitchell's map the following year, replaced by about a dozen new counties in the southern part of the state, such that only the Pottawattamie lands remain named.
