DescriptionMap showing the distribution of the tribes of Alaska and adjoining territory compiled from the latest authorities By W H Dall, U (MAPS 182).jpg |
English: Relief shown by hachures. Mounted on cloth. Key printed beneath border along bottom edge of map: "Tinneh Indians. Innuit tribes. Aleuts. Asia Chukchis America T'linkets. Nasse and Chimyan Indians. Haida or Kygahni. The lines are intended to distinguish the approximate area over which the several tribes range, but are not to be taken as indicating that they permanently occupy all the territory so marked. Some tribes whose areas overlap have not been thus marked, and also some others whose exact range is unknown. For these the text affords information." Printed in top right corner below inset map: "Department of the Interior, U.S. Geographical and Geological Survey of the Rocky Mountain Region, J. W. Powell in Charge. Map showing the distribution of the tribes of Alaska and adjoining territory Compiled from the latest authorities By W. H. Dall, U. S. Coast Survey, 1875. Geographical data brought up to November 1875. For the geographical positions of this map the compiler is principally indebted to the records of the U.S. Coast Survey comprising the observations of Assist. Davidson, himself and others, and to the report of Capt. C. W. Raymond, U.S. Top. Eng." Printed above border at top left corner: "U.S. G. and G. Survey of the Rocky Mountain Region". Printed above border at top right corner: "Contributions to North American Ethnology, Vol. 1" An inset map of the Aleutian Islands appears in the top right corner of the map. The map depicts the territory of Alaska, along with portions of eastern Siberia, the Yukon, and the northwest corner of British Columbia. Emphasis is placed on depicting the physical geography of the land, with large colored sections indicating the presence of specific native peoples, although some named settlements do appear.William Healey Dall (1845-1927) was a prominent American naturalist who traveled widely in and around Alaska in the 1860s and 1870s. After studying under Louis Agassiz at Harvard, he was appointed in 1865 as a scientific assistant to the Western Union Telegraph Expedition, an investigation of the possibility of a telegraph line being run to Europe via the Bering Strait. Dall initially surveyed the coastlines of Siberia and Alaska while officially remaining under the authority of the naturalist Robert Kennicott, but after Kennicott's death, Dall chose to stay in the region at his own expense to continue scientific investigation. He published the first English-language reports regarding the natural history of Alaska and the Yukon, and was appointed to the U.S. Coast Survey in 1871 so that he could continue his study of the region. His travels from 1871-1874 supply much of the data for this 1875 map of Alaska. Later in his career, he went on to serve as a paleontologist for the newly formed U.S. Geological Survey, and was the honorary curator of invertebrate paleontology (specializing in mollusks) of the U.S. National Museum from 1880 until his death. Captain Charles Walker Raymond (sometimes listed as Charles P. Raymond) conducted an exploration of the Yukon River from 1869 to 1871 aboard the steamship Yukon, in part for the purpose of determining whether the trading post Fort Yukon was within the borders of the territory acquired by the United States from Russia in 1867, and asserting the American claim to the post when that fact was established. He later went on to teach at West Point Military Academy, and commanded a scientific expedition to Tasmania.
