This is a recording of a program presented at the Traverse Area District Library on Jan. 13, 2026 at 6 pm.
Ever wondered how Michigan ended up with the UP and it's interesting shape? Did you know there was a (mostly) bloodless Toledo War in our state's history?
Speaker and educator John L. Daly will share the story of the Mitchell Map. 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. Mr. Daly tells the stories of how the Mitchell Map influenced Michigan’s boundaries and the entire Great Lakes region.
This program is presented as part of TADL's yearlong celebration of America's 250th.
John L. Daly spent much of his career training corporate financial professionals. He has had a lifelong interest in history and most recently appeared in Michigan History Magazine as the author of
"The Misleading Mitchell Map: Isle Royale and the Toledo War".
