Fine, large map of the Americas with a rudimentary shape for Alaska, here called Aliaska. The United States is shown confined east of the Mississippi River. The western part of North America is bisected by a huge mountain range labeled The Stony Mountains and is shown as completely unexplored with a few suspected rivers delineated by dotted lines.

References: Phillips (A) #714-50.

Good impression and coloring. Very slight offsetting in a few areas, still very good to fine.
