An unusual, reduced version of the larger Janvier map that shows the imaginary Sea of the West (Mer de l'Ouest), and a definitive Northwest Passage stretching from Baffin Bay to the Archipel St. Lazare on the Pacific coast. There is not any sign of a recognizable Alaska, and an interesting array of mountain ranges criss-cross the continent.
