    The following towns are featured: an Ortelius map that includes a large Terra Australis Nondum Cognita, Northwest passage below the Terra Septemtrionalis Incognita, and other early cartographic features. There is still only the Straits of Magellan separating the continent from the unknown southern continent, but the Western area of South America has been removed from previous maps. The early misprojection of Japan, the depiction of Nova Guinea, and the Solomon Islands. North America is a study in early conjecture and mythical cartography, including a projection of the St. Lawrence reaching to the middle of the continent and a similar river running from the Gulf of Mexico to the same vicinity. Nova Francia is shown, although well prior to the visits of Champlain and the Jesuits. Quivira and Anian appear. Many other wonderful early configurations. The map is embellished with sea monsters and sailing ships.
