Michigan's shape is unusual. Anyone working with a modern map is unlikely to have put these two peninsulas together. It happened due to some strange twists of history.
Come learn how an inaccurate 1755 map led to Michigan's boundaries, gave us Isle Royale National Park and started the Toledo War.In 1755, John Mitchell, created what would become the most often used North American map for five decades. Negotiators used the Mitchell Map to set the boundaries between the United States and Canada and define the Great Lakes States in the Northwest Ordinance. John L. Daly tells the stories of how the Mitchell Map influenced Michigan’s boundaries and the entire Great Lakes region.
