This anonymous French puzzle map contains 42 pieces and is constructed of 1/8" thick wood. Cartographically, the United States claims in the Pacific Northwest extend well north into British Columbia, reflecting the French alignment with American interests during the Oregon boundary dispute. Mexico is in control of the Southwest including Texas, which is not delineated or named. Alaska is Amerique Russe. No box is present.
