- The map shows North America and includes detailed insets of the West Indies, depicting the islands belonging to various European powers. The map clearly delineates the dominions of the British, Spanish, and French empires, reflecting the geopolitical shifts that occurred as France ceded much of its territory in North America to Britain and Spain. The British gains are prominently displayed, including Canada, Florida, and lands east of the Mississippi River, while Spanish possessions are shown to include Louisiana west of the Mississippi. The French territories are considerably reduced, with France retaining only a few Caribbean islands and fishing rights in Newfoundland.
