The late discoveries and geographical improvements.

North America is still divided into British America, the United States, and Mexico.
Also, various mentions of indigenous territories such as Callapoewahs, Crow, and Mandans in the northwest, and the Chipeways west of Lake Superior.
Alaska was still 'Russian America' at that time.
