Published by C. Cooke, this is a slightly revised map of North America, which focuses on discoveries in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. New Mexico encompasses present-day Louisiana and Texas. Alaska is still a bit misshapen but Capt. Cook's discoveries are shown. Good detail of the Aleutian Islands and the coast of Asia. Northern Canada is marked Parts Unknown, northern California is New Albion, the eastern seaboard states all extend to the Mississippi River. Locates many Indian tribes. A handsome chart.
