Elaine Marie Nelson’s article, “‘No where to be found’: Myth-Mapping, Empire, and Resistance in the Black Hills Country, 1800–1860,” explores the relationship between the creation of non-Native maps and how Americans understood Black Hills geography. For most 19th century Americans, the size and location of the Black Hills was ambiguous and fluid. Based on Indigenous knowledge, Nelson argues, white soldiers, settlers and explorers formulated maps and stories to claim the Black Hills as part of a growing U.S. empire.
