- One printed map sheet from the "Plan of Private Claims in Michigan Territory as Surveyed by Aaron Greeley in 1810." The map is printed in black ink on white paper and covers the southern portion of the Detroit River region along the west shore of Lake Erie including the "Riviere aux Raisins [River Raisin]", "Riviere au Loutre [Otter Creek]," the "River Huron of Erie," and several other smaller streams and creeks. The southern end of Grosse Isle at the lower end of the Detroit River is also included on this sheet. The map shows the numbers and locations of various ribbon farms (private claims) in the region. Corresponding tables list the name of each property owner, the claim number, and acreage. Boundary lines for townships are also shown along with the corresponding township and range numbers. These numbers extend from T.9.S. [Township 9 South]" up to "T.4.S [Township 4 South]" and from "R.VII.E [Range 7 East]" to "R.X.E [Range 10 East]." A large north arrow is shown in the upper left area of the sheet along with a note concerning magnetic variation. A small inset map of the Huron River is shown in the top center area at a scale of 1 inch = 4 miles. The northern portion of the Detroit River region is covered on a second sheet that was not part of this accession.
