A handsome and very detailed map of the Americas with an extensive key to the colonial possessions. In North America, the United States extends to the Mississippi River and there are 14 states listed. Louisiana is colored in the map as a U.S. possession, but the table still lists it under French control. Spain is shown in control of New Mexico and Florida. The British possessions in Canada extend south on the west coast to the Columbia River. In South America, Spain and Portugal dominate the continent.
