It presents a detailed view of the Gulf region and the Mississippi, and the exploration routes of De Soto, Cavelier, Tonty, Moscoso and Denis. At the far west is the Rio Grande with the settlements of Santa Fe, los Taos, S. Felipe and Albuquerque nearby. The Great Lakes are relatively properly shown. Topography and rivers are detailed.
