This interesting double-hemisphere world map is surrounded by six diagrams showing various divisions of the globe. In North America, California is shown as an island. However, as this map was published at the very end of the controversy over the insular nature of California, the engraver has covered all bases and shows the island touching the mainland near the center of the eastern coast.
