Note
An extremely rare map of Arkansas and the earliest large format map of the state, published less than 3 years after its admission to the Union on June 15, 1836. Tanner's map depicts the new state divided by the Survey of Public Lands into the "Lawrence," "Arkansas," "Fayetteville," and "Red River" Districts and further subdivided into its 30 original counties. The familiar grid of townships and sections imposed by the Survey of Public Lands dominates the map—this closely matches a Map of Arkansas Surveying District published by the General Land Office later in 1839 and is evidence that Tanner used the most up-to-date sources. Overall, Arkansas settlement was strikingly sparse at this early date, with the total population still under 100,000 and heavily concentrated in the eastern counties. Of particular interest are Miller and Lafayette Counties in the far southwest, at the time the subject of a territorial dispute with the then-independent Republic of Texas. Here they are assigned a somewhat ambiguous status, depicted within Arkansas' borders but not included in the Arkansas Survey District. All of Miller was ceded to Texas when it became a state in 1845, but the county was later reconstituted from the western portion of Lafayette County. Hand colored map. Includes notes and legend. Shows state, county, township, and district boundaries, railroads and roads,Trails, canals, rivers, and topographical features such as prairies and swamps. Relief shown by hachures. Prime meridian is Washington.
