Very attractive map of North America and the West Indies filled with a multitude of place names and meticulously rendered topography. The map includes an inset of the Aleutian Islands to the left, and a colored key to the political divisions of the continent at the bottom. There is a small note at the bottom indicating which mountains in Mexico are volcanoes.
