L'AMERIQUE SEPTENTRIONALE.[California island]

A map of North and Central America showing California as a hugh island stretching as far north as Alaska with indented coastline, and with the place names of: R'Estiete, C.Blanco, P.de Carinde, Canal de S. Barbe, I. de S. Martin, I de S Mare, B de S Francisco, D de Simon, B S Christoue and Piemabe.
The Mississippi River is set far to the west of its actual location with the Rio Bravo or Rio Norte (today’s Rio Grande) depicted as a tributary. Attempts to detail the course of the Mississippi quite far inland and includes several known forts along the river as well as a Ohio (Ochio) River branching off far to the south of its actual location. Sante Fe is shown far north of its true site.
Just to the south of Santa Fe, in what is today Utah, there is an interesting notation of a “Lac de las Saliaas”, though no actual lake is shown, probably an early reference to the Great Salt Lake which was not officially “discovered” by Europeans until 1776.
Another interesting feature in this map are the routes, to and from the Caribbean, the Spanish Galleons had to take to transport Mexicos treasures to Europe.
