A lovely map of Japan and Korea showing the discoveries of Broughton and Krusenstern who traveled in the region in 1796-97 and 1805-11, respectively. In Japan, Kyrushu, Shikoku, and Awajishima are significantly more correct than early maps. Nicely detailed and colored by regions, it shows towns, roads, rivers, lakes and mountains.
