"Siberie ou Russie Asiatique, Tartarie Chinoise, Pays des Eluts et Isles du Japon", Robert de Vaugondy, Didier

This interesting map shows Russia, northern China, Korea, Japan, and parts of Central Asia. Mountain ranges, river systems, and key cities are shown. The great wall of China is graphically depicted, and a note adjacent to the Ula Gola mountain range (likely the Kunlun mountains) explains that the tombs of the family of Emperor Genghis Khan are believed to be located there. The sea between Japan and Korea is called Mer de Coree, and Hokkaido is only partially delineated. This is the first state, engraved by E. Dussy.
