MAPS


Do you like to make maps? There are such interesting ones to do for the story of Illinois.


First, on a map of the United States, color Illinois solid and trace in colors the waterways connecting it with Canada and Virginia and New Orleans. See what an important place Illinois has in the geography of the nation.


Trace on a map which shows the Great Lakes and the Mississippi Valley the route of Marquette and Joliet, from Wisconsin to Arkansas and their return. Mark the mission station -whence they started, the portage, Piasa, and the two Kaskaskias.


Trace on a similar map the journeys of La Salle and Tonty. Mark Fort Crevecœur and Fort St. Louis. The frontispiece of Parkman's La Salle and the Discovery of the Great West will help you. On another map indicate all the French forts in America (look at page 37 of Thwaites's France in Amer- ica). You will want to make a distinctive mark for the six posts built by La Salle-Frontenac, Conti, Miami, Crevecœur, Prudhomme and St. Louis.


Make a map showing Clark's route from Pittsburgh to Kaskaskia, and then to Vincennes. You will find an ex- cellent sketch in Thwaites's How George Rogers Clark Won the Northwest, facing page 26.


Do a series of sketch maps showing the various changes in the territory of which Illinois was a part-the entire Northwest Territory, the change made in 1800, and the sep- aration from Indiana in 1809 (see pages 79, 83 and 92 in Thwaites's How George Rogers Clark Won the Northwest). And last but not least a map showing the northern boundary change. Facing page 118 in Jones's Decisive Dates in Illinois History is a map showing Pope's line; but continue your map to the east, showing the extreme southern end of Lake Michigan, and extend the dotted line to meet it. Sketch in the boundary lines of the fourteen northern counties.


Make a population map for Illinois in 1812, like the one on page 59 of Buck's Illinois in 1818.


Make a map showing all the internal improvements sug- gested, like the one facing page 410 in volume one of Moses' Illinois Historical and Statistical. Draw the canal very dis- tinctly.
