The shape of the nebula resembles that of the continent of North America, complete with a prominent Gulf of Mexico. The portion of the nebula resembling Mexico and Central America is known as the Cygnus Wall. This region exhibits the most concentrated star formation. Data show that the North America Nebula lies 2,590 light years away (795±25 parsecs). The whole HII region Sh2-117 is then 140 light years across, and the North America Nebula stretches 90 light years north to south. (Information from Wikipedia)
