Key events shown on the map include the Louisiana Purchase from France in 1803, the Oregon Treaty with Britain in 1846, the Mexican Cession after the Mexican-American War in 1848, the Gadsden Purchase from Mexico in 1853, the annexation of Texas in 1845 and Hawaii in 1898, the Alaska Purchase from Russia in 1867, and the Spanish cessions of Florida and other territories in 1819. The map illustrates how the gradual expansion and acquisition of new lands contributed to the geographic growth and territorial development of the present-day United States.
