In the Western Hemisphere, the entire Southwest is now California and the new state of Texas is in large its stovepipe configuration, indicating this map was published shortly after the conclusion of the Mexican-American War.

Some of the islands around Antarctica are beginning to appear in the form of vague coastlines.
