Emanuel Bowen, An Accurate Map of North America (1763)

The 1763 Treaty of Paris ended the French and Indian War between the British and French in North America, and the global Seven Years' War of which it was a part. This map, which Emanuel Bowen originally published in London in 1763, illustrates the boundaries dictated by the treaty, and includes relevant terms of the treaty on the right side of the map.  Britain gained French Canada, all French claims (excluding New Orleans) east of the Mississippi, and Spanish Florida. France had earlier ceded land west of the Mississippi, known as Louisiana to Spain, which Spain retained. Most of the territory between the Appalachians and the Mississippi was reserved for Indigenous Peoples and colonists were barred from settling west of the "Proclamation Line" that ran down the peak of the Appalachians. This angered many colonists who had fought in the Seven Years' War in hopes that they could gain new land west of the Appalachians.
