US Territorial Expansion Maps

Empire? Global Policy Forum has been busy scanning vintage maps of the United States. The expansion is quite amazing. A bit like watching a nuclear explosion annihilate and corrupt everything in its path.

• US Territorial Maps 1775-1920
• US Territorial Expansions in the West, the Caribbean and the Pacific

.. for more historical documentation, GPF has an excellent section they call Evolving Empire.

I have also collected a few noteworthy maps, though not quite so vintage, in the local map gallery.
