Summary
This record identifies a held catalogue trail for an 1833 Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge regional map of Wisconsin and Michigan. The University of Alabama index preserves the sheet’s “Beaver Is” and “Gr. Beaver I.” labels, placing the Beaver group in a pre-Strang regional cartographic record.
The map is useful for historical name-search and map-history context. It is not a cadastral or hydrographic survey, and its printed labels do not establish modern boundaries, Indigenous sovereignty, occupancy, land title, or precise island geometry.
Evidence and limits
The archive holds web captures of two map catalogues, not a downloaded map image, original sheet, or georeferenced derivative. The University of Alabama page supports the named-label observation; Geographicus supplies publication and regional-catalogue context. Any closer reading of symbols, placements, or tribal labels requires a stable image inspection and an appropriate cartographic and Indigenous-history source review.

- Held index page identifies the 1833 scan as published in London by Baldwin and Cradock and describes the item as S.D.U.K. North America Sheet V. Its held capture notes the map’s “Beaver Is” and “Gr. Beaver I.” labels. The index supports an item-level name attestation, not a surveyed location, feature inventory, or complete transcription of the map.web · ua_sduk_1833_index
- Held dealer catalogue identifies the 1833 edition as an S.D.U.K. map published by Baldwin and Cradock and describes its Michigan Territory, Huron/Northwest Territory, Lake Michigan, and tribal-label context.
