notes:
This map is described as the most significant and far-reaching policy statement for the administration of the American colonies that the British government ever issued. It delineated the boundary between the American colonies and the area given to the Indians beyond which "our people should not at present be permitted to settle." In 1762, France ceded all of its lands west of the Mississippi River to Spain in a secret treaty (the Treaty of Fontainebleau) with Spain. This treaty was kept secret even at the Treaty of Paris in 1763 which ended the Seven Year's War. Issued after England acquired new territories from Spain and France, it brought into being the new British colonies of Quebec, East Florida, West Florida, and Grenada.
