This detailed map of northeastern South America extends from the Essequibo River to just above the mouth of the Amazon River. There is good detail of the rivers and mountain ranges in the region, as well as numerous notations in the interior. Lake Parime is no longer shown on the map as its existence was disproved by Humboldt in 1804. Drawn by J.B. Poirson and published by Weimar Geographisches Institut.
