Maps and Tribe Territory

Pomo territories - 1905 through late 20th century

Map of Pomo tribe territories spanning from 1905 to the late twentieth century. The map indicates locations for the Northern, North Eastern, South Eastern, Central, Southern, Eastern and Kashaya Pomo tribes.

When the U.S. Army attacked Pomo villagers in vengeance for the death of a U.S. soldier, they attacked a tribe that was unrelated to the incident. Note the close proximity of the tribe barriers surrounding Clear Lake, where the Bloody Island Massacre occurred.

Just West of Clear Lake, the Russian River was one of the sites where Pomo victims of the Bloody Island Massacre fled to escape the United States First Dragoons Army Regiment.

Relief shown by hachures and spot heights. Shows drainage, counties, roads, etc. Covers also Nevada. Wheat Gold states it shows many more mining camps than any of the 1850 maps and "It is quite similar to Butler but discloses somewhat better workmanship."
