Alaska is labeled Russian America on this early edition, and the place name Pembina appears in the vicinity of present-day North Dakota. Patagonia is depicted as its own region separate from the Argentine Republic in South America. Australia is divided into its states. The Antarctic Continent is still taking shape, with a couple stretches of coastline delineated. The map extends as far north as Grinnell Land.
