Note
Copper plate outline color map of the United States, published in Nuremberg 1825. Includes annotations throughout, place names, rivers and lakes. Relief shown by hachures. Prime meridian is Ferro. One of the most noteworthy features is the massive depiction of Illinois Territory, shows Illinois extending to Lake Superior and the Lake of the Woods, the largest depiction we have ever seen, extending far into modern day Canada. Many Indian Tribes are noted. In the northeast of Illinois, the boundary is shown following the Wabash River a bit too far northeast, resulting in a large encroachment into Indiana. The boundaries reflect one of the few extent map of the whole of Illinois Territory, which existed as a territory from 1809 to 1818. The Illinois Territory originally included lands that became the states of Illinois, Wisconsin, the eastern portion of Minnesota, and the western portion of the upper peninsula of Michigan. As Illinois was preparing to become a state, the remaining area of the territory was attached to the Michigan Territory. To the South, the map shows a massive Mississippi Territory.
