A propos de cet article

This 1763 map records the territorial boundaries of the British colonies in North America as defined by the Treaty of Peace and the decisions of the Board of Trade. It charts regions such as New England, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and parts of Canada, alongside major rivers, lakes, and mountain ranges, with an inset detailing Florida and the Bahamas. Maps of this kind offer a valuable historical snapshot, showing how colonial borders were conceived and how Indigenous lands were represented at the time. The map reflects the post-Treaty of Paris settlement following the end of the French and Indian War, which effectively ended French colonial power in North America. Spain ceded East and West Florida to Britain, while France transferred its claim to Louisiana to Spain, establishing the Mississippi River as the dividing line between British and Spanish territories. The map also illustrates the southern colonies' charter claims extending to the Mississippi and identifies numerous Indigenous nations beyond the main English settlements. The inset of East Florida, drawn to the same scale, sits between the coastline and a decorative rococo title cartouche, accompanied by a simple compass rose in the Atlantic.
