Maps are wrapped with acid free board, or in rigid sleeves. The Mitchell family started to produce atlases in 1846, and continued into the early 1890s. Around 1860, S. Augustus Mitchell Jr. took over, and the atlas would be called Mitchell's New General Atlas. This is a colorful map of Minnesota and Dakota from the 1861 installment of that atlas. Lands of the Cree and Dakota Indians are included on the map. Ristow 311-313
