This charming miniature map depicts the continent with the island of California shown only to about the 40 degrees north. The Great Lakes are open-ended in the west and called Mer Douce, and there is a north-south range of mountains called Mont de Suala. A drape-style title cartouche adorns the top right corner. This is the second state, with the Barania R not labeled in Mexico.
