This large handsome map depicts all of North and South America, the western coasts of Europe and Africa, and a tiny piece of Asia along the top border. In North America, the Stoney Mountains are the dominant topographical feature in the West, which is mostly left blank (Lewis & Clark's report was published in 1814). Mexico incorporates an unnamed Texas and the entire Southwest. South America still retains the mythical lakes Parime and Xarayes. Engraved by B. Smith.
