| Reproduction map of Mandan, North Dakota in
1883. Incorporated in 1879, Mandan lies just across the Missouri River
from the city of Bismarck. Named for the Mandan tribe that occupied
the area when white Europeans traveling along the Missouri first appeared in
the 1730s. The Mandan tribe, unlike the other nomadic tribes in the
region, established permanent villages and practiced agriculture.
Their friendliness and willingness to trade brought many European
fur-trappers to their villages. Sadly, epidemics of small pox and
whooping cough resulted in the tribe being reduced to only a few members by
the 1830s. This reproduction map shows the Library of Congress stamp,
dated October 31, 1883. The Heart River is shown in the foreground.
Insets on lower left and right depict the North Pacific Rail Road Passenger
Depot and the Hagers Block. Title cartouche notes "Mandan, Dak.,
County Seat of Morton County". High resolution
historical map print on durable, matte finish stock. 36" x 21.5" |
