Scarce mininiature map of America from the Atlas Geographicus Portatalis. The map follows the cartography of the Homann maps of America from 1720 and after, including the Pais de Moozemlek west of Lake Superior. The Great Lakes are taking shape and there are a number of place names in the southwest. The southwestern Pacific is loaded with islands, many of which were conjectural.
