Description: Thirteen-year-old Mary Munson drew this map of Ohio around 1822. It shows Ohio counties as they appeared after the creation of Union County in 1820. Although the northwestern counties of Allen, Crawford, Hancock, Hardin, Henry, Marion, Mercer, Paulding, Putnam, Sandusky, Seneca, Van Wert, Williams, and Wood were also created in 1820, they are not depicted on the map. The land in northwestern Ohio was acquired through the Treaty of Maumee Rapids, which was signed on September 29, 1817, and ratified by the United States Senate on January 4, 1819. Munson refers to the treaty in her notation "Count[r]y recently purchased of the Wyandott and other Tribes of Indians." The map measures 13" x 12.25" (33 x 30 cm). View on Ohio Memory.
