The North American continent was visible on a specific 21st century-era political map of Earth, which was stored in the 's library computer in 2254. This map was among numerous materials viewed by the Talosians when they scanned the Enterprise computer in that year. ()

Background information 
One of the 17th century maps, known as "Harmonia macrocosmica seu atlas universalis et novus, totius universi creati cosmographiam generalem, et novam exhibens", was created by . A scan of the original can be found here.

The maps used in the original  were published in the early 1960s. The landmasses of North and Central America, and the Caribbean Islands, were seen on two political maps of the northern hemisphere. Decades later, the map used in the remastered "The Cage" was a Central Intelligence Agency map published either in April 2007 or September 2008.   The difference, which was not noticeable at the resolution of the image from the episode, was the addition of Kosovo, which gained its independence between the releases.
