The coast of North America is labeled with the colonies Florida, Georgien, Carolina, Virginien, Pensilvanien, Neu England, Neu Scotland, and Acadia. The important fishing banks of North America are prominently depicted. The Prime Meridian is shown through I. Ferro with an alternate Prime Meridian shown through Paris.
