"A Map Comprehending Bherings Straits, with the Adjoining Coasts of Asia & America", Trusler, John

This small map extends from just below the Tropic of Cancer to north of the Bering Strait. It shows an early depiction of Alaska and numerous towns, rivers and mountains are shown in Asia and Russia. Alaska, named Part of North America, is largely blank with the exception of a few coastal names. A note below the Sandwich Islands states "where Capn. Cook was killed." Engraved by Neele.
