The United States and Canada have shared histories from before the earliest days of colonisation that continues today as the two nations continue their close bond.
"A maritime world in the heart of a continent." This map of the Great Lakes region was a part of the "Making of America" series, accompanying the July 1987 article, "The Great Lakes Troubled Waters".
The Great Lakes region holds a rich history. From the treaties and conflicts with the Indigenous peoples to continued warring between the British and French - and the British and Americans - this land and its inland seas is the core of two nations spanning hundreds of thousands of square miles in all directions from it.
Major highways, treaty lands and intriguing facts about the land and the political and physical forces that shaped it offer a nuanced look into the region in boldy contrasted colours. This map is drawn in the Albers Conic Equal-Area projection, which uses two standard parallels between which distortion is minimized.
