Map of the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean and the southern United States, 1682 – Atlas Minor
“Insulae Americanae in Oceano Septentrionali ac Regiones Adiacentes, a C. de May Usque ad Lineam Aequinoctialem”, Visscher, Nicolas
This beautiful map shows the West Indies, covering the region from the Chesapeake to the Gulf of Mexico, with Central America and the northern part of South America.
Two charming cards of cherubs and mermaids decorate the opposite corners.
Eight ships sail the seas and three native canoes are depicted on the coast of North America.
The map contains a number of interesting cartographic myths. These include two large non-existent lakes in the region of western Georgia and a non-existent mountain range stretching from the Piedmont Mountains across the North American continent.
In South America, the archetypal cartographic myth, Manoa o’ El Dorado (the golden city), is located on the shores of Lacus Parime vel Roponowini in Guyana. This is the second state to have this privilege added to the cartouche.
