This finely engraved small map of North America features a River of the West reaching close to the headwaters of the Mississippi. Florida is divided into East and West Florida, and a massive Louisiana Territory takes up much of the central United States. Cenis is named, and New Albion and Quivira appear in the west. A series of four mountain ranges rise in the western basin.
