- Description
This map shows the western hemisphere. Much of the north-west coast of North America is left blank, but the rest of the map lists the names of rivers, cities, regions and mountains. Unlike many of his contemporaries, d'Anville used decoration and annotation sparingly if at all as this map demonstrates. A note near the islands off the coast of Alaska and north-western Canada reads "discoveries made the by the Russian for about 20 years."
