This is an 1892 Thomas Jefferson Morgan map of the United States showing Indian reservations. The map depicts the country from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean and from Canada to Mexico and the Gulf of Mexico. Indian reservations throughout the country are highlighted in orange and labeled in block lettering. Indian boarding schools, day schools, and contract schools throughout the U.S. are identified by different symbols which correspond to a key situated along the left border. The states are all illustrated, labeled, and shaded different colors to allow for easy differentiation. Cities and towns are labeled as well, as are railroads throughout the country. Yellowstone National Park, established in 1872, is also identified. Three insets are situated along the bottom border that illustrate Alaska, the Mission Indian Reservation in California, and the northeastern corner of the Indian Territory. (more details)
