1889 Indian Reservation Map of the United States
This is a RARE 1889 map of Indian reservations in the United States. With the Indian Removal Act of 1830, the U.S. Government began moving Native American populations to secluded tracts of land. From the mid to late 1800's, most were forced onto reservations. This map shows the Indian reservations as they were in 1889. Most are located in the Western United States. The map was created under the direction of T.J. Morgan, Commissioner of Indian Affairs. It shows good overall condition. The map measures 35.5" x 24.'
