"Iucatana Regio et Fondura", Wytfliet, Cornelis

This fascinating map is from the first printed atlas relating exclusively to America. The map covers the Yucatan peninsula and Central America. Several over-sized rivers and lakes are prominently shown. A spurious R. Grande flows from a large lake in present-day Guatemala. Lake Nicaragua and the San Juan River are the dominant features in Central America. Another wide river nearly bisects the isthmus near Panama City. The map is adorned with a decorative strapwork title cartouche.
