The map shows the U.S. and U.K. boundary claims in the waterways between Washington Territory and Vancouver Island. It is one of several maps published in the House of Representatives documents on the Berlin Arbitration of 1873 when the Kaiser settled on the Western Line in favor of the American claim. The same map has been published without the boundary lines drawn in.
