Masonic Recognition Issues

Historical Maps

The information in this chart was prepared by Paul M. Bessel, Executive Secretary of the Masonic Leadership Center. Please contact me with any additional information, or any comments or suggestions. My email address is paulb'at'bessel.org 

The following maps are included here only because I have been requested by many Brethren to show them, to assist those, such as non-Americans, who may not be familiar with some aspects of U.S. history.
