- Description
Map showing the mountains, rivers, lakes, settlements, islands, and regions of North and South America. Characteristic of de L'Isle, this map is highly detailed and remarkably exact in information but lacks decoration. Rather than speculate, de L'Isle left the north eastern portion of America and Canada blank. In the Pacific Ocean dotted lines illustrate the routes of various explorers such as Magellan, Tasman, Gaetan, Madna, Halley, le Maire.
