Notes

  • 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.
  • Florida was held by Spain prior to 1763; on the map it is shown only as a British gain, and appears no different from territory lost by France.
  • 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.)
