Very uncommon copper engraved map with details in Canada and Alaska, which is still not fully delineated. The "Monte Stoney o delle Pietre" (Stoney Mountains) dominate the west where a hypothetical connection is shown between the Missouri and Columbia rivers. The longitude is measured from the island of Ferro. Numerous Indian tribes are named and Canada's extensive network of rivers and lakes is shown in detail.
