Notes[edit]

  • The pink coloring specifically designates territory that Britain held without question after 1763; included are both areas that had been under full Spanish or French control and then lost, as well as areas disputedly claimed by Britain before 1763.
  • The undefined boundary in the upper watershed of the Red River of the North was due to confusion at the time as to the location of the headwaters of the Mississippi River. (The source of the Mississippi was believed to have been further north than its actual location.)
  • Dashed lines designate border changes within British-held territory outside of the thirteen colonies between 1763 and 1783.
    • Both of the annexations shown, by West Florida in 1767 and by Quebec in 1774, were previously included in the Indian Reserve of 1763. The Indian Reserve boundaries shown on the map are only the boundaries of the reserve until 1783, except for adjustments to the boundary made by the 1768 Treaty of Fort Stanwix and other treaties, which are not shown.
