| Summary: | Notice the boundary lines both extending by the ocean and on land between the territory of the U.S. and the territory of Great Britain. Alaska was Russian American from 1741 - 1867; in 1867 the U.S. made the "Alaska Purchase" of buying Alaska from Russia for $7.2 million. After 1867 the contentions between Russia and Great Britain as to these borders were settled between the U.S. and Great Britain. Later maps don't show these boundaries in such detail as this map. The first reindeer and reindeer herders in Alaska came from Siberia. https://digitalcommons.law.ou.edu/maps/1027/thumbnail.jpg |
