Treaty of Chicago (1821), Articles 2 and 3, read whole
No reserve was ever laid on the Roseland ground. The 1821 treaty's own Article 2 reserves five village tracts from the cession — Mang-ach-qua, Mick-ke-saw-be, Na-to-wa-se-pe, Prairie Ronde, and Match-e-be-nash-she-wish at the head of the Kalamazoo — and all five are Michigan tracts; none touches Indiana. Its Article 3 grants sections to named individuals: of those, the nearest to this ground are Monguago's half-section "at Mish-she-wa-ko-kink" (Mishawaka, some five to six miles southeast) and the Bertrand children's half-sections "at the portage of the Kankakee river" (some seven miles southwest); the Elkhart River grants (Moran, Le Clerc, Roland, Knaggs, Benac, Me-naw-che) lie fourteen miles and more east. No Article 3 grant is located by its own text in Clay Township. The tribes fragment's table carries the whole reserve landscape at pointer strength; the land's finding is the negative: the townsite was ceded ground, unreserved, from 1821 forward.
