This charming double-hemisphere map features a peninsular form for California and a northwest coastline that extends to include Quivira and Anian. A huge Terra Australis Incognita is only partially delineated and incorporates Hollandia Nova. The western hemisphere features few place names, yet numerous spurious rivers. Present-day New England is called Norumbega, with Apalchem, Virginia, Medano, and Florida named along the east coast. Asia's eastern coastline is strangely straight, with an insular Korea.
