CAPTION PRINTED BELOW PICTURE: 'Western Hemisphere'

Alaska is indicated as "Russian America" as it was prior to its sale to the United States in 1867. The border between British North America (now Canada) and the United States includes substantially all of what is now Washington State within British North America. The map shows a united Gran Colombia, incorporating New Granada (today Colombia & Panama), Venezuela & Ecuador; although Gran Colombia had ceased to exist in 1831, when Ecuador & Venezuela had seceded. Patagonia is shown as a separate state, with the balance of today's Argentina marked with its earlier name of "La Plata".
