"This collection illustrates the high stakes involved in early American colonial government claims to land. … The Power of Maps and The Politics of Borders will engage a range of disciplinary audiences, including historians, geographers, cartographers, and anthropologists. Those interested in historical maps will enjoy its diverse examples of early American cartography, ranging from a map depicting the territories defined in the 1808 Treaty of Fort Clark to a map of the Cherokee Nation by one of its delegates in 1785."
