    The map shows the lands assigned to the Cherokee in what was later Oklahoma and Kansas. In Kansas this consisted of the 800,000 acres in the southeast corner. In Oklahoma it is all the land north of the Arkansas and west on a surveyed line to the eastern edge of what became the Texas panhandle. Within this region each of the rivers is shown with the forts and some villages. An obscure and scarce map not listed in the usual sources and not often appearing on the market.

    Condition is very good. Image size is approximately 14.5 x 16.5 (inches)
