Although similar to Tallis's map of North America, this map has different vignettes: "Captn. Perry wintering in the Arctic Regions"; "White Bears"; "Hunting the Buffalo"; "Indian Chief" (after Catlin); "Falls of Niagara"; "Geysers, Iceland"; "Whale Fishery"; "First Landing of Columbus"; and "Remains of Ancient Temple, Mexico." The map features a pre-Gadsden border. In the United States the only states and territories named are Oregon Territory, Missouri Territory, California, New Mexico, Texas, and Florida. It has very good detail of the watershed with many rivers named. The map locates many towns and settlements, and shows an extensive railroad system in the east. New Mexico is in a small, early configuration between Texas and the large region of California. Alaska is Russian Territory, and Canada is British Territory. In the Caribbean the Bahamas and Antilles are well shown. Title is incorporated into the intricate border design.
