The map shows the northern states of the united states of america in 1832. At that time the rivers of the mississippi and the missouri formed the border between the east settled area of the americans and the western area of the indians. The areas of the different indian tribes and the villages and towns of americans are inscribed on the map. An orange line indicates the northern boundary of america. The red lines from boston to the upper missouri and back to new york marked the history of the expedition of the scientist maximilian zu wied-neuwied and the painter karl bodmer in the years 1832-1834.
