An attractive small map of North America with nice topographical information. Alaska, here called Aliasaka, is still a little mis-shapen but is beginning to take its correct form. The Pacific Northwest is shown under British control. The discoveries of Lewis and Clarke are included. In the West the R. S. Felipe is shown connecting L. Teguyo with San Francisco Bay. Texas is simply labeled Potosi. The title is enclosed in a landscape cartouche. Engraved by Giraldon.
