I like! My only qualm with this is the use of OTL names for cities, especially Dallas-Fort Worth. If it wasn't for the United States, we wouldn't have cities called Dallas or Fort WorthHope you like it
I'm pretty happy with it for my first finished map... Still playing around with styles.

Looks really nice! Kinda sparse with cities but I can't blame you for not wanting to add hundreds of little city markers for >10K towns! Seeing Comancheria and Navajo again has really got me thinking about the status of Aboriginal Americans ITTL. Seemingly the Iroquois, some of the First Nations' confederacies in the Ohio country got legitimized as real jurisdictions, but are there still reservations? Those aboriginal states in Louisiana make it seem like some removal still happened.Hope you like it

I mean, Texas was still founded by ITTL Americans, they just happened to be running from the Crown instead of the republican Federal Government OTLI like!

Oh, so Worth still made his way down to Texas, even with no Mexican-American War? That was the reason he was sent to Texas in the first place in OTL. My problem was that he wouldn't even come to Texas, because of no Mexican-American War, but you seem to have explained it well. Same with DallasThanks
I researched most of them, hence why some have changed - Fort Belknap, Kalabwakin. But with Fort Worth and Dallas, when I researched their names there was no good reason to change from OTL.
Fort Worth was named for William J. Worth who served with the Texan Army after the Mexican War and established a series of forts to defend the nascent state.
The origin of Dallas' name is disputed IOTL, so it could easily still be named Dallas ITTL with the generally accepted in universe reason being named after Dallas, Moray, Scotland.
Worth could probably have been one of these British-American Volunteers who came down to help during the Texan Border Wars, which basically fill the role of the Mexican-American War ITTL. And most of the settlers were still American and British, so Dallas totally could've made sense as a name for a settlement ITTLOh, so Worth still made his way down to Texas, even with no Mexican-American War?

Well, now that's just amazing.

Ah, that makes senseIndeed, Texas is founded ITTL by republicans fleeing the Crown, as well as those descended from American Patriots who fled west after the 1780s.
Britain backed Texas from its Revolution, with military and material aid, and TTLs version of the Mexican-American War is the "Mexican War", which saw the British Empire support Texas and California against Mexico to gain their independence. So many British Americans end up in Texas during and after the war, and a lot remain, plus the Lone Star Republic is a British protectorate for decades until the 1930s/40s.
Also, I'm in love with the detail you put into the Texas map, especially when you put in my hometown of Round Rock, plus Harker Heights, Copperas Cove, Lampasas, Georgetown and San Marcos
For a political map, the current map works perfectlyThanks I really appreciate that
I'm still not quite happy with it the more I look at it... I'm probably going to go back and add some more labels for bays etc. Maybe lakes, reservoirs and perhaps rivers...
