I have data on the percent of deaths due to malaria in each of 50 "states and territories" from the 1890 census, "during the census year ended May31, 1890".[1] It's essentially a modern map of the contiguous 48 with two differences:  (1) Oklahoma is split in two with roughly the southeastern 40 percent being "Indian territory" and the rest labeled, "Oklahoma".[2]  (2) The District of Colummbia is counted separately.	  Thanks,	  Spencer Graves[1] The percentages range from 0.2 to 10.6, which I computed from raw counts of total deaths and deaths from malaria given in Tables 4 and 5,on pages numbered 16 - 425, which give deaths "from each specified disease and class of diseases, with the distinction of age and sex, during the census year ending May 31, 1890" in John S. Billings, M.D. (1894) Report on the Vital and Social Statistics in the United States at the Eleventh Census:  1890.  Part III. -- Statistics of Deaths (Washington, D.C., Government Printing Office).[2] There are Wikipedia articles on "Indian Territory" and "Oklahoma territory".  The boundaries of the two seem to have been specified in "The Oklahoma organic act of 1890", 1890-05-02.  They were later merged by "Oklahoma statehood", 1907-11-16._______________________________________________Historic mailing listHistoric at openstreetmap.orghttps://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/historic
