"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. The area from New Mexico to Louisiana is named as "Great Space of Land Unknown." The small Texas settlement of Cenis is near the New Kingdm. of Leon. Inset shows Mexico City on the large Lake of Mexico. Finely engraved with a decorative title cartouche and compass rose.
