This small map shows an unnamed United States extending to the Mississippi River with a large Louisiana to its west. The map is pre-Lewis & Clark with several possible sources for the Missouri River stopping just short of the Rocky Mountains, which extend far into northern Canada. Alaska is still in a rudimentary form and notations in far northern Canada indicate the sea was seen by Hearn (1771) and MacKenzie (1789).
