Besides Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas, land west of the Mississippi River is separated into regions, including District of the Mandines, District of the Osages, District of the Ozark, District of the Sioux, and District of the Oregon. Canada is called Nouvelle Bretagne. The map includes decorative borders with graphic elements in the corners and four distance scales.
