Annual source outlines can combine imperial claims with areas of control. The labels identify the historical role selected, while dates finer than the source interval are made explicit in these details.

The US outline follows dated Newberry legal and administrative records. Other, joint and disputed territories are excluded from exclusive US fill. The outline says nothing about Indigenous consent or actual settlement.

Haiti is shown using an 1805 footprint with its 1804 independence date. Louisiana follows Newberry’s actual 1804 union, correcting the smaller Cliopatria US outline.
