"L'America Settentrionale", Rossi, Luigi

This is the northern half of this Italian map of the Western Hemisphere. It presents a massive Luigiana running through the center of the United States and overlaps with a large Missouri Territory. South of Lake Superior, in present-day Wisconsin, Territorio di Nord Ouest is named. The Prov. di Texas is part of Mexico, as is Nuovo Messico, which appears here as a narrow strip of land wedged between two mountain ranges. California is divided into Nuova and Vecchia, with Nuova Albione and Nuo Giorgia to the north. Florida is still split into East and West. Alaska is labeled America Russa. Hawaii appears at bottom left. The map extends to include a portion of Asia and Europe. Engraved by G. Sasso and M. Bonatti.
