Made during the French and Indian War (1754-63), this map labels the British colonies of Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia as "territories in dispute." While European powers fought to claim control of these regions, the map records elsewhere hundreds of Native American settlements, including Cahokia near present-day St. Louis. It demonstrates how Indigenous nations held power and influence in North America at this time.
