Description

An early map and a subsequent revision that shows Michigan territory before and after statehood in 1837

Context

Many of the county names have been changed and Kalamazoo Lake is listed at Newark Lake in 1841. Saugatuck is indicated on the 1841 map but not on the 1833 map. Early maps like these were primary sources of information for potential settlers and land speculators.
