1832 Map of the United States of America and Nova Scotia.
DESCRIPTION
This map of the United States and Nova Scotia depicts the states and the configurations of territories as they appeared in the early 1830s. A thorough investigation of the map reveals an enormous amount of detail for these regions.
The states and their cities, towns and settlements are denoted, as are territories and the large area still considered to be Mexico at that time. Myriad indigenous Indian cultures, their territories and settlements (labeled villages and camps) across the entirety of the map are named.
Roads, trails and byways, natural geologic formations are depicted and named, including streams, rivers, lakes, larger bodies of water, and mountain ranges and peaks. Existing forts are shown and place names along all shorelines are delineated.
A large inset in the lower left quadrant depicts what would become Oregon, showing the topography and many of the indigenous peoples who were known to inhabit the region.
