This scarce decorative map is based on Delisle's foundation map of North America. It shows a peninsular California with C. Mendocin as the farthest northern point on West Coast. The English settlements are confined east of the Alleghenies with Carolina shown as a French colony. The Mississippi River valley is well developed with recent French settlements located. The interior is filled with the names of various Indian nations. At lower left is a plan of Halifax. The map is exquisitely adorned with two large vignette-style cartouches depicting Native Americans and exotic animals.
