"Mexico, or New Spain; in which the Motions of Cortes may be traced", Kitchin, Thomas

A very attractive map of the American Southwest and Mexico. California is New Albion with no detail outside of a few coastal place names. The region of present-day Arizona and New Mexico is well delineated with numerous Indian villages and the locations of missions. From New Mexico to Louisiana is "Great Space of Land Unknown." Texas is identified as New Kingdom of Leon. Inset of Mexico City on the large Lake of Mexico. Finely engraved with a decorative title cartouche and compass rose. This map was originally published in 1777, this being the 1821 issue by T. Cadell.
