PROPOSALS. for publishing a SpIen-
| E did Map of the State of Mississippi,


together with portion of the adjoining


States, TO be laid off in Sections, on the plan


adopted by the General Government, in


surveying the public lands. BY John La


1omrette, Southern MGp-Mnker An ac-


curate Map of the State of Mississippi, in


cludng the territory lately acquired from


the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians. The


Map extends from the AtchafaIaya river


in Louisiana, to the east of the Mobile bay


(including the two cities of Mobile and


New Orleans, and showing the connection


between them, )--from thence north to the
state of Tennessee, (ncludng about eight
counties Of the state Of Alabama, )--thence
west, so as to embrace the south east corner
of the state of Arkansas. From thence
south to the Atchalaldya river. Then we
have the great Mississippi river, called
''the father of waters," from its several
mouths, (or the Balize) with all its mean
ders to the SO N. lat. The size of tho
map is 60 by rs inches, and contains up
wards of 80 square feet.


For the purpose of making this map cor
rect the publisher has taken exact copies of
all the township maps (made by the United
States surveyors, from which the lands are
sold,) at the different land offices. Itis pro-
jected on a scale of one inch to the congress
sional township, which is divided into Sc
sections or square miles. The Spanish
grants and odd shaped sections, and also.
the long narrow strips of land on the Mis-
sissippi rivers and bayous, in Louisiana,
are shown on the map. 1t is so arranged
that person can point to the tract on
which he lives. The counties are put in
their proper forms. The land districts are
shown on the map. Each town and post
Office on its right quarter section, with the
name annexed. The water courses are
laid down correctly, and the miles (by wa
ter) marked on the principal ones, so thai
each person can see how far ho is from
market. The principal roads are marked
through the sections with as much accuracy
as practicable, with the distance in miles,
between the towns or places Of note. ma
ny of the roads were measured by the pun,
Usher himself, who has constructed aho
made a machine for the express purpose ol
the distance that he travels, 81 81
as to mark it correctly on the map Ino
margins of the map are to contain suI'aUie 4
statistical tables.
