This map is Territorial Growth 1790
from the U.S. National Atlas, 1970. The states of the United
States are shown in the dark shading; the territories are in
light shading. Spanish claims are shown in medium shading. The
dashed line show disputed areas. Vermont is a de factor state
and officially becomes the 14th state in 1791. Kentucky is shown
as part of Virginia although Virginia has already renounced
it claims. Kentucky becomes the 15th state in 1792. The outline
of West Virginia is shown, but West Virginia becomes a separate
state much later, during the Civil War.
