Northwest Territory

In 1783, after the Revolutionary War, the United States faced the challenge of organizing the Northwest Territory. This vast land would eventually be divided into five new states. The Land Ordinance of 1785 was crucial in this process, establishing a system for surveying and selling land. Each township measured 6 miles by 6 miles and consisted of smaller 1-mile by 1-mile sections. As settlers moved into this territory, they utilized maps and resources to find their way to Ohio, paving the path for settlement and statehood. Explore the transformation from wilderness to developed states.
