Nice pair of steel engraved maps with the detail typical of the Society's maps. In the Western Hemisphere, the boundary between the United States and Canada is based on British claims in the Northwest, and the present-day Southwestern states are controlled by Mexico. In the Eastern Hemisphere, Africa and Australia show practically no detail in the interiors.
