- Description
Map of North America showing cities, trading houses, Native American land, settlements, missions, mountains, lakes, and rivers, all in great detail. The map shows the boundaries of fifteen states in the United States of America. The western coast includes numerous place names, but much of the interior is left blank, save for a few interesting speculative features, such as the "Mountains with Bright Stones" and a large, unnamed lake near present day Utah. A few annotations appear throughout the map.
