The shading in the Arctic regionshows how much there was still for the explorers to discover. The Oregon Country is shown as part of the United States, althoughthe whole region was in dispute between the United States andGreat Britain. In the United States itself the settled part of thecountry was east of the dotted Une that runs from Lake Ontarioto the Gulf of Mexico. West of this line was the Indian country,with only a few forts as outposts of settlement. Several territorieshad been organized, but Oregon, Missouri, and Nebraska were littlemore than names for vast undetermined regions.
