| Biography/History | Emanuel Bowen, an 18th century English mapmaker and printer, made this map in London in 1752. Though Bowen's details of the east coast are pretty accurate, the northern Great Plains is blank from Lake Superior to the western coast. French trader and explorer La Verendrye had visited the Mandan Villages on the Missouri River nearly 15 years earlier, but his maps were apparently not known to Emanuel Bowen. Bowen places Indian tribes in the central and southern plains (Osages, Panis, Apaches, Paducahs), but appears to have no information concerning the peoples of the northern plains. |
