This is the second state of this handsome map of the continent. The colonial possessions are well defined and there are numerous Indian names throughout the Mississippi River valley and the Spanish possessions in New Mexico, while the rest of the western region is largely blank. In the Pacific Northwest, the Entrée decouvert par Martin d'Aquilar is shown alluding to a possible Northwest Passage. The large title cartouche is located in the upper left and features a river, Native Americans and a crocodile.

References: Pedley #448.

Condition: A

Light toning in wide original margins with a couple insignificant spots in the map, overall very good.
