Abstract

A map of North and South America, showing the boundaries of colonial territories, cities, settlements, bodies of water, and Indigenous land. There are several annotations and descriptive text sections that add notes on the land, Indigenous peoples, discoveries, and the history of colonial claims. A small note next to California explains why many cartographers depicted it as an island. A table in the bottom left further divides North and South America into its colonial possessors.
