Stock#: 29698 Map Maker: Beadle Date: 1856 Place: Buffalo, NY Color: Outline Color Condition: VG Size: 25 x 14.5 inches Price: SOLD Description: Scarce early map of the Plains, Midwest and Rocky Mountains, drawn by E.F. Beadle and published by Miller, Orton & Mulligan. Beadle's map extends from Ohio to the Rocky Mountains, north of the Ohio River and Indian Territory. It shows Nebraska Territory (created in 1854), west of Minnesota and north of Kansas. Kansas extends to the Rocky Mountains and includes the regions allocated to the Arapahos & Cheyennes, on the eve of the 1859 Colorado Gold Rush, with St. Vrains Fort, Ft. Laramie and Pueblo the only locations on the Eastern Slope. The map tracks the course of the Missouri River and its tributaries, with a note showing Manuels Fort, a reference to one of the earliest known structures built on the upper Missouri. At some point in 1806-07, the fur trader Manuel Lisa established Fort Raymond at the mouth of the Bighorn River, where it entered the Yellowstone River. This was the first permanent structure of its kind on the Upper Missouri. It was at first just "two rooms and a loft". Lisa named it after his son, but traders also called it Manuel's Fort or Fort Manuel. Lisa built it for the company which he and William Clark owned (the St. Louis Missouri Fur Company). At the time of its establishment, Fort Raymond (Manuel) was the first permanent structure of its kind on the Upper Missouri. Lisa established the only trading post in the Great Plains region. This made the Fort instrumental in American relations with local tribes, as well as the early settlement of the Nebraska Territory. In 1809 Lisa was one of the founders of the St. Louis Missouri Fur Company, later known as the Missouri Fur Company, which included members of the Chouteau family, founders of St. Louis. On his fur expedition in 1809 with 300 men, Lisa and his company built another fort further east, near the Gros Ventres village located between the mouth of the Little Missouri and that of the Big Knife rivers in what is now North Dakota. This was named Fort Lisa, or, as in the excerpt below, Fort Manuel Lisa Trading Post.

He abandoned Fort Raymond/Manuel and shifted operations to the new post. The famous Astor Expedition would have stopped at Fort Lisa in 1811. Henry Brackenridge, a fur dealer at Fort Manuel Lisa Trading Post on the Missouri River, wrote in his journal in 1811 that Sacagawea, the notable Native American guide for the Lewis and Clark Expedition, was living at Fort Lisa with her husband Charbonneau. He wrote that Sacagawea "...had become sickly and longed to revisit her native country." The following year, John Luttig, a clerk at Fort Manuel Lisa, recorded in his journal on December 20, 1812, that "...the wife of Charbonneau, a Snake Squaw, died of putrid fever." Fort Lisa was abandoned soon after this period. The Indian Territory is indicated for the Cherokees. Original outline color with red showing railroad detail extending west to Iowa City.

  • Bighorn River Basin, Wyoming
    Environmental and Recreational Water Use Analysis for the Wind – Bighorn River Basin, Wyoming Wind – Bighorn River Basin Plan Update Prepared for: Wyoming Water Development Commission 6920 Yellowstone Rd Cheyenne, Wyoming 82009 Prepared by: Western EcoSystems Technology, Inc. 415 W. 17th St., Suite 200 Cheyenne, Wyoming 82001 September 7, 2017 Draft Pre-Decisional Document - Privileged and Confidential - Not For Distribution Wind – Bighorn River Basin Plan Update EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2010, the Wyoming Water Development Commission (WWDC) requested a study to develop more robust and consistent methods for defining environmental and recreational (E&R) water uses for the River Basin Planning program. The study outlined that recreational and environmental uses needed to be identified and mapped, in a way that would assess their interactions with traditional water uses throughout the state of Wyoming. Harvey Economics completed the study in 2012, with a report and handbook being produced to identify a consistent viewpoint and accounting process for E&R water demands and to help guide river basin planning efforts in moving forward. The methods developed in the handbook were implemented on the Wind-Bighorn River Basin (Basin), and the results of the Basin plan update are provided in this report. In addition to the handbook guidelines, Western Ecosystems Technology, Inc. coordinated with the WWDC to further the analysis through the development of three models: 1) protection, 2) environmental, and 3) recreation. The Basin is located in central and northwestern Wyoming. Approximately 80% of Yellowstone National Park (YNP) is included in the Basin. Elevations in the Basin are variable as the Wind River and Bighorn Mountains funnel water from alpine areas to lower river corridors.

It is probably the only document in exist­ ence that was written upon the identical spot where the old fort of the St. Louis Missouri Fur Company stood at the Three Forks of the Missouri.

    Sacagawea Sacagawea /səˌkɑːɡəˈwiːə/ & Lewis and Clark The knowledge of Sacagawea of the peoples and the circles was part of the success of the expedition. She saved the expedition at least twice from a failure: - when she avoided the loss of food, of supplies and documents in rapids - when the expedition met the Shoshone tribe. At first, they were hostile to their passage. The leader of the tribe was her brother named Cameahwait. She could have stayed with him and her people but decided to continue the exploration. Her exploit is all the more great as she gave birth to a son, Jean-Baptiste or “Pompy”, during the expedition, and she had to undergo the ill-treatment of her husband throughout the route in spite of a critical health caused by a disease which caused her death at the age of 25. Her History Sacagawea or Sakakawea or Sacajawea was a Shoshone Lemhi woman. She was born on 1788 in Idaho in the USA and she died on 20th December in 1812 in Fort Lisa. Her husband was Toussaint Charbonneau and her children were Jean Batiste Charbonneau and Lizette Charbonneau. She had a brother : Cameahwait Sacagawea = Little bird HER REMOVAL She was abducted of the age of 11 by Hidatsa and lived with them as a slave. « Won » when gambling by Toussaint Charbonneau, a Canadian-French trapper who married her, she was, at the age of 15 the interpreter and guide of the Lewis and Clark expedition In her memory - Lake Sakakawea was created in 1956 in North Dakota - Sacagawea River, a river of the Montana - US SACAGAWEA, name of several ships of the United States Navy -The asteroid (2822) Sacajawea -A coin of a dollar, since the year 2000 which represents her portrait and that of her son.
