Although we've been cautioned against assuming that maps from the period we're studying look even remotely like maps today, I thought it would be helpful to make a page of maps, especially if we can dig up some historical examples for comparison.
In general, the link to this collection may be helpful:

It's possible to search the collection by date.
Here's a map dated 1856 of America's river systems:

(I'll link this page to law of the river after class)
