This is the second state of this handsome map of the continent with additional place names in Canada and updates in the Great Lakes region. The colonial possessions are well defined and dotted borders show the French claims prior to 1763. There are numerous Indian names throughout the Mississippi River valley and the Spanish possessions in New Mexico, while the rest of the western region is largely blank. In the Pacific Northwest, the Entrée decouvert par Martin d'Aquilar alludes to a possible Northwest Passage. The large title cartouche is located in the upper left and features a river, Native Americans and a crocodile. There are two manuscript names written in brown ink on Nova Scotia.
