This impressive world map emphasizes the tracks of explorers and circumnavigators including Columbus, Cook, Tasman, Furneaux, Parry, and Captain Weddel's exploration of Antarctica in 1823. There is excellent detail of the many islands in the South Pacific and New Zealand is well-delineated. In North America, the United States is confined to east of the Mississippi River and Indian lands are identified farther west. The middle of South America is "Mostly Unknown" while a remnant of the mythical Parima L still persists.
