The map of the United States shows the northwest as Oregon Territory with a classic Fifty-Four Forty or Fight boundary with U.S. territory extending well into Canada. The Midwest is composed of Indian Territories: Huron occupies Wisconsin, reaching the large District des Sioux at the Mississippi, which itself stretches to the Missouri River. The huge Districe des Mandanes continues from the Missouri River to the Rocky Mountain where it meets Oregon Territory. Further south are the Ozark and Osage districts. The double-page map of North America shows the same configuration.
