DescriptionMap of North America, Central America and the Caribbean, with Hudsons Bay to the north, the Atlantic, or "Western," Ocean to the east, the "Terra Firma" of South America to the south, and the Pacific Ocean or "South Sea" to the west. The locations of European cities, towns, Native American towns, forts and castles are marked with symbols as listed in the explanation, which is found in the lower right corner. Rivers, lakes, islands, capes and waterfalls are labeled, and mountains are depicted in relief. Sailing and exploration water routes are marked with dotted lines and three of them are marked with descriptions of the route. What appear to be land exploration routes are marked with the same dotted lines, but are not labeled. There are arrows, probably indicating the trade winds or other wind patterns, in the oceans, gulfs and seas south of the 30th parallel north.
