This small, but detailed, map extends from Panama to Cape Horn with an inset of the Salomon Islands at lower left. In Guyana, the legendary (and misspelled) Prime Lake is noted on the Equator, while the mythical Iarajes Lake (Xarayes) is prominently depicted at the center of the continent. The map is densely filled with rivers, mountains, and coastal place names.

The mythical lake Xarayes is shown at right (here spelled Iarajes) and the interior has a note describing that the "Country and its Inhabitans are very little known." Gold mines are located along the Amazon River and The Inca Way is shown from la Plata in Peru to Pasto in Colombia.
