The United States:
Looking at an image of North America from space, it is impossible to see the boundaries of Utah, the United States, Mexico or Canada. Utah is part of the large mast of western territory ceded to the United States by Mexico through the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1858. Looking from east to west on the image, there is a good sense of the geographic changes moving from the greener areas of the east and mid-west into the large deserts and mountains of the western United States. |
