Rather than a scene of harvest tables, this is a map of the British colonies strung along the Atlantic coast of North America, with the settled seaboard drawn in detail and the interior left largely blank. Maps like this one showed Britain's territorial claims and guided trade, shipping and settlement, and their boundaries were often uncertain or disputed with France and Spain. The New England colonies, which include Plymouth, the site of the 1621 harvest feast often linked to Thanksgiving, provide the connection to the holiday this board covers.
