This series consists of manuscript, annotated, photoprocessed, and published maps pertaining to Indian lands and reservations. Although most of them were prepared by or for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, some were acquired from other sources for official use, often as exhibits or as basic sources of information. Also, some were prepared before the Bureau was established. These maps depict exploration routes, tribal lands, Indian cessions and reservations, areas selected for withdrawal from and additions to reservations, forts and military reservations, boundary lines, private land grants, roads and railroads, railroad grants, allotments to individual Indians, homestead claims, school lands, church lands, townsites, national forests and parks, timber and mineral lands, farming and grazing districts, cultivated and uncultivated lands, irrigable lands, irrigation projects, and rights-of-way through Indian lands of railroads, pipelines, telephone and telegraph lines, highways, electric transmission lines, canals and irrigation ditches. Many of the maps, particularly those showing rights-of-way, are on indefinite loan to the Bureau for use in its land records and title improvement program.
