This map of North America depicts the United States to mostly east of the Appalachians with a numbered key at right identifying the 13 states. France is in control of the upper Midwest, while Spain occupies everything west of the Mississippi River. The western side of North America is nearly blank except for Santa Fe and some speculative mountain ranges.
