This uncommon double-hemisphere world map is attributed to Jean Boisseau and appeared in several different publications. Geographically the map is similar to Henricus Hondius' map of 1630. In North America it presents California as an island, a stretch of land to the northwest of California with the place names Nova Albion and Serra Nevado, and no Great Lakes. The Dutch discoveries on the Carpentaria coast of Australia are shown, which is connected to the great Terra Australis Incognita stretching across both hemispheres. Tierra del Fuego and Le Maire Strait are shown at the tip of South America.
