A layer of contaminated dust on the life of an artist. A burning prairie and the conservationist who lit the match. Objects with long histories on the shelves of Midwestern antique malls, and a hardscrabble baseball league at home on the Plains. Wander with us through the Living Archives of our region in Issue 20.
Pre-order a print copy of The New Territory, a biannual magazine documenting the lives and landscapes of the Lower Midwest, from High Plains to Ozark hills. The NT was founded in 2016 by Midwest editors and artists. A 501(c)3 nonprofit, it is ad-free, supported by subscribers, donors, and the Missouri Arts Council, a state agency.
The issue heads to print in late November 2026. Pre-orders will mail directly from the printer as soon as it is ready.
