1824 Map of the Acting Superintendency of Michigan - Historical Cartography #3679310 (License: Personal Use)

This hand-drawn 1824 map, signed by Henry R. Schoolcraft and dated May 1824, illustrates the Acting Superintendency of Michigan, including Lake Superior, the Straits of Mackinac, Detroit, and Chicago. It features color-coded reservations (e.g., Chippewa, Ottawa, Potawatomi), population tables for villages and bands, and notes on treaties and land cessions. The map reflects U.S. federal Indian policy during the era of forced removal and treaty negotiations.

Used in academic, museum, or archival contexts to study early U.S. territorial expansion, Native American history, and cartographic practices of the 1820s; ideal for researchers, educators, and genealogists seeking primary source material on Great Lakes Indigenous communities.
