This double hemispheric world map features California and Korea as islands. No sign of the Southern Continent. Names few cities, but Jedo is located. Shirley says the map is "correctly up-to-date according to the discoveries of the time." A surprising amount of coastline is noted for Australia and New Zealand as well. Only the southern coastline of Van Diemens Land is shown.
