This small map presents the world in two hemispheres, with the continents outlined and only major rivers and lakes depicted. In North America, California is shown as an island, there are no Great Lakes, and the northwestern coast extends to Asia. There is a massive southern continent, named Terra Australis, extending across both hemispheres. A charming and rare map that we have never seen before.
