Indiana Territory

[Debra in TX]

WK 4 map aids (US in 1803) shows that Ohio was part of the Indiana Territory. I have looked for clarification on this because Ohio entered the Union in 1803 as a state and prior to that only a small portion of Ohio was considered part of the Indiana Territory. If what I have researched on the internet is incorrect could someone please let me know.

Hi Debra,

Thanks so much for pointing that out! It looks like our map needs to be corrected -- everything I've found seems to back up that only a sliver of Ohio was part of the Indiana Territory. So sorry for the confusion. Until such time as we can correct this, I believe this map (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d4/Indianaterr.PNG) is accurate. I hope that's helpful. We'll certainly correct that map soon. Thank you for helping us give the most accurate information possible!

All the best,
