This small but detailed map of North America spans from the upper expanses of Canada to the northern tip of South America, and east to include Britain. The colonies are identified, as is French Louisiana, New Mexico, and California. Virginia, the Carolinas, and Georgia extend west to the Mississippi River. West of the Mississippi, only two cities appear: Senis in Texas and Sta. Fee. The land north of Baja California is named New Albion, and the mythical land of Quivira is shown in the west. The northwest frontier of the continent is labeled Parts Undiscovered.
