"A New Map of the World with the Latest Discoveries", Brookes, Richard

This double hemisphere world map features nice detail. Only a few states are identified in the United States, which is confined to the east coast. The land to the west of the Mississippi is labeled Louisiana, with California named within Baja California, and Mexico labeled as New Spain. The coastlines of New Zealand and New Guinea are complete and Tasmania is still connected to New Holland.
