Two large chips in bottom corners have been replaced with period-correct paper with the image skillfully replaced in facsimile. The triangular chip at bottom left measure 4" high and 3" wide, and the chip at bottom right measures 5.5" high and 2" wide. An additional small hole near the center of the map has also been repaired with a minor amount of image replaced in facsimile. The restoration has been very well executed and the map presents itself well.
