North America was a continent on Earth and, along with neighboring South America, was the ancestral home of the Native American Human tribes. This continent contained Canada, Mexico, United States, and the Central American and Caribbean nations. The Arctic Circle, a line of latitude, passed through northern North America. The Gulf of Mexico was located in this continent. This continent had coastlines on the North Atlantic and North Pacific Oceans.
In the late 17th century, the north-western North American continent was unexplored by European explorers. On their maps, they named this region, "America Septentrionalis". (Star Trek: Enterprise, opening credits)
In an alternate 1944, NAZI Germany invaded the continent. (ENT: "Storm Front")
North America was depicted in many assignment patches of NASA's space programs, especially for the Apollo program and Space shuttle program, in the 20th and 21st centuries. Copies of these patches were displayed at the 602 Club. (ENT: "First Flight")
A 21st century-era political map of Earth was stored in the USS Enterprise's library computer in 2254. The North American continent was seen on this map. This map was among the materials viewed by the Talosians when they scanned the Enterprise computer. (TOS-R: "The Cage")
In 2378, Reginald Barclay arranged for McKinley Station to send an image of the continent to the USS Voyager in the Delta Quadrant. Captain Kathryn Janeway, appreciating the gesture, thanked Barclay. (VOY: "Author, Author")

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 Andreas Cellarius. A scan of the original can be found here.
The maps used in the original "The Cage" 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. [1] [2] 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.
