The US/Canadian border in the west extends to about 55° North Latitude as in "54°40' or Fight". An unusual feature is the depiction of Mexico controlling land up to the Columbia River at Astoria. The border follows the Columbia inland about 100 miles and then follows a mysterious river named Grande Riv. that branches off to the southeast. Alaska is Amerique Russe, and Texas is shown as Independent. Mexico controls the bulk of the west. At the bottom is a short description of 28 areas that are keyed to the map via color-coding and numbering. Script titling.
