This is a 1953 Michael H. Bevans pictorial map of the United States celebrating the American bison or buffalo. The map details the bison's historic range at varying dates, chronicling the near extinction and subsequent efforts dedicated to saving the species. A line of circles marks the bison's range as of 1500, stretching from the Atlantic Seaboard west to modern-day Oregon and Nevada. Other lines highlight the bison's precipitous decline in range and population following the arrival of Europeans. Bevans employs buffalo skulls to underscore decimated population and notes in each state the year the last bison was killed. (more details)
