Here's a map of the United States in 1850 largely based off of this. I don't think the dots signifying trails is the worst - snaking pixels looked a lot worse when I tried it. Leaving it empty was an option too, but that just felt misleading and looked kind of odd. Territory borders are in grey because they blended in with the trails if they were state colored. I also whipped up the borders for the territories at this time including Minnesota Territory, Utah Territory, and New Mexico Territory. Was not able to find them on previous maps, so this might be the first map to depict those. Utah is striped because of the semi-independent status of the Mormon settlers there. I'm hoping to make a series of maps from 1850 to 1875 or so which depict the Civil War, but we'll see how that goes. The little scattered pluses you see are forts for the most part.
Looks very nice, thank you, I can learn from this.Probably the last update I'll do until the thing is finished since I don't want to clog the thread, but I realized it felt pretty damned empty without the other nations and just felt a little bizarre looking. Made it a scrolling map so its less awkward to view changes over time. Also fixed a couple of the errors of the previous ones such as the Minnesota border post-statehood not following the map rules and Oregon's state borders remaining the same as that of Oregon Territory. But yeah, hoping to do finish the thing soon, and I will post a nice and cleaned up final copy within a week probably.
Thank you - I think it’s a more interesting way of showing the frontier and the difficulties of actually holding it over just showing de jure control. My only regret is that I haven’t found a way to accurately depict native polities without also making the map look cluttered. The data is really hard to come by too.Looks very nice, thank you, I can learn from this.
Would EmperorTigerstar's "Loss of Native Lands" work? That's what I used, in combination with OmniAtlas, to create the below:Thank you - I think it’s a more interesting way of showing the frontier and the difficulties of actually holding it over just showing de jure control.

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more!

You may check out this map by FancyHat (only if you haven't seen it). I like how he depicted America.Thank you - I think it’s a more interesting way of showing the frontier and the difficulties of actually holding it over just showing de jure control.

Well, you can probably just copy the 1900 administrative borders into the 1914 map.Does anyone has a pre-WW1 world map that includes the maximum number of administrative divisions possible?
In 1900 the Russian Empire, German Empire, etc. contain administrative divisions, whereas in 1914 they do not.
This is what I am going to inevitably do, I was just asking to see if there were any pre-existing ones before I start it.Well, you can probably just copy the 1900 administrative borders into the 1914 map.
Not to my knowledge at least, unfortunately.This is what I am going to inevitably do, I was just asking to see if there were any pre-existing ones before I start it.
the last thing this project needs is another redrawing of borders, because what usually ends up happening is that the patch is only applied to some of the maps, thus creating an inconsistency among the maps (which this series was made to prevent from happening)Redid India's states based on the R-QBAM
