Rough sketches like this one record the Creek Country, the homeland of the Muscogee (Creek) people across present-day Alabama and Georgia, as outsiders recorded it in the early 1800s. The gallery places it under Horseshoe Bend, where the Tallapoosa River loops sharply and where Andrew Jackson's army defeated a force of Red Stick Creek warriors on March 27, 1814. That battle ended the Creek War's fighting in the region and led to the Treaty of Fort Jackson, which forced the Creek Nation to give up vast tracts of land. The hurried, field-style lines of the sketch are worth noticing, since they show how maps and views of this country were made in the middle of conflict and land seizure.
