Features five stunning vignettes which include American Indians on horseback chasing buffalo across the great plains, Several American Indians sitting around a tree with a teepee in the background, two seals, an otter, and in the lower right quadrant, Niagara Falls. The whole is surrounded by a decorative vine motif border. The vignettes for this map were drawn by H. Warren and engraved by Robert Wallis. The map itself is the work of John Rapkin.
