A map of land cessions showing Wisconsin's area is divided into several colors. There are light blue, yellow, pink, grey, orange, and green. The colors indicate different sections of Native Americans' lands taken over by the United States. Lake Michigan and Lake Superior are colored in darker blue. Areas of Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, and Michigan that border Wisconsin arenot colored. The text at the map's top left corner reads "Bureau of American Ethnology," and at the top right corner says "Eighteenth Annual Report. PL. CLXXI."

Map of Land Cessions

Before Milwaukee became a city, the western shore of Lake Michigan and what we know now as Southeast Wisconsin was Indian Country. In 1829, the Menominee Indians ceded the land in the pink area to the U.S. The Chippewa, Ottawa, and Potawatomi ceded the land in green area to the U.S. in 1832. Together, these land cessions reshaped the geography of the southwestern shore of Lake Michigan, and made the area we now call the Milwaukee metropolitan area United States land.
