    Close to being centered on Lake Michigan, this map covers an interesting chunk of the Midwest, with settlement happening quickly. While counties are divided for Michigan, and northern Illinois, only south of the Fox and Wisconsin Rivers are settlements apparent, after native displacement a few decades prior. In northern Illinois, there is likewise sparse settlement and interestingly a notation for “Ancient Mounds” appears north of the town of Geneva.
