This map is a cadastral map from 1736. It was used to delineate where in Montville, Connecticut the Mohegan Indians were granted rights to live. It is interesting to note that Britain ruled that the Mohegans' land consisted of much more than this area in Connecticut in 1705, however, that ruling was not implemented on this side of the Atlantic, as can be seen here. This is a great example of how land partitioning is a social institution. The bottom of the map consists of a note from the county surveyor asserting the legitimacy of the map. This map was originally on HistoryNYC.com, a map vendor. http://historynyc.com/products.asp?cat=53
