This fine map illustraes the lands described in the Old and New Testament and divides the land into the Twelve Tribes of Israel. The Kishon River connects the Mediterranean to the Sea of Galilee. The map is graced with a cartouche drawn by H. Eland, showing Joshua being presented with a survey of Canaan by his spies. This scarce edition was published by Francois Halma, after Sanson's map of 1662.
