A rare German map based on John Arrowsmith's important cartography of the Americas. The map focuses on topographical features and rivers with only a few place names. The new discoveries in the Pacific are carefully delineated. The United States extends west of the Mississipipi River, and Spain is still in control of the southwest and Florida. A number of Indian tribes are noted in North America. The bottom corners of the sheet feature diagrams of the solar system and the seasons.
