This 1862 map depicts the complex political divisions of North America, with the United States (blue), Confederate States (purple), and contested regions like Indian Territory (striped blue/purple). The United Kingdom controlled vast northern territories (gold), while Mexico (green) retained sovereignty over its modern-day borders, and smaller entities such as the Republic of Texas and Yucatán appear in muted tones. Alaska was still under Russian control (brown), predating the 1867 purchase.
