Description: A map of North America showing the French posts and forts at the beginning of the French and Indian War (1754) between the French and the British. The map is color–coded to show the territorial claims of the British, French, and Spanish at the time. The map coverage includes the southern portion of the Hudson Bay Company territory (British), New France, Nova Scotia, the Thirteen British Colonies, Louisiana, and Spanish Florida at the time. Inset maps show the entire North America, Central America, and Caribbean region, with the same color–coding to indicate territorial possessions in 1689 and in 1763 at the end of the French and Indian War. These maps also show the unexplored territories of the northwestern portion of North America.
