"Mexico", Finley, Anthony

This terrific, detailed map delineates mountains, watershed and towns. Baja is Old California and to the north are New California and New Albion. Features numerous Indian tribes including Moqui (Hopi), Yamaya, Yabipias, Apaches, Nochi, etc. The large, mythical Lake Timpanogos appears in the region of Utah. A smaller Salt Lake is the source of the erroneous Buenaventura River that flows into the Pacific at San Francisco. Another mythical river, the River San Felipe originates in southern Utah and flows to the Pacific Ocean below Monterey Bay in the vicinity of today's Big Sur. Beautifully engraved by Young & Delleker.
