According to marginal notations, this rough sketch map was drawn
by "Chegeree (the Indian) who says he has travell'd through the
country." One of the very few examples in the Library's collection
of a map drawn by a Native American, it shows Indian settlements
in the area from Lake Erie to the mouth of the Ohio river in the
middle of the eighteenth century.
