File talk:Viceroyalty of the New Spain 1800 (without Philippines).png

This map is full of errors[edit]

A conversation took place on Reddit regarding the mistakes in this map. I have listed many of the errors here.

The Louisiana Purchase was in 1803, so what is labeled Spanish Louisiana should be labeled as US territory * There was no West Virginia at that time
It should say British territory, not English territory
There are three shades of grey on the map, but only two on the legend.* Ohio was a U.S. State in 1803, but it is not represented on the map this way
Monterrey and San Diego are placed inland, but indeed they are actually coastal cities
The scale provided is wrong. For example, in reality, New York State is 455 km wide.
Great Britain (in Upper Canada) should say United Kingdom.
Upper Canada should say Lower Canada.
Manitoulin Island in Lake Huron should be shaded as part of Canada.

With all these errors in mind, this map should NOT be included in any articles. The misrepresentations, particularly of the Louisiana Purchase, along with the unlabeled shade of grey, make the map valueless. I am removing this image from all articles.

Please remake the map with the fixes above, and we can re-add it to the articles.
