This uncommon and interesting map shows the north-south and east-west axes at oblique angles to the continents. In North America, the Pacific Northwest coastline is not delineated and a series of rivers and lakes make up a Northwest Passage. At upper right, inside the neatline is "2.e Carte pag. 206." Engraved by Guillaume Delahaye, although his imprint is not present on this example. This map is given a full-page illustration in Pedley's book on page 94 and is discussed in her chapter "Maps that Illustrate and Teach."
