Impressive detail is given with regard to the Kamtschaka Peninsula, Bering Sea, the southern coast of Alaska and a large portion of northern Canada extending as far east as the Hudson Bay. Numerous soundings accompany the various track of exploration. The map also notes the explorations of Bodega as well as the inland tracks and discoveries of Hearn.
