Mapa do Golfo do México, Caraíbas e Sul dos Estados Unidos de 1682 - Atlas Minor"Insulae Americanae in Oceano Septentrionali ac Regiones Adiacentes, a C. de May Usque ad Lineam Aequinoctialem", Visscher, Nicolas Este bonito mapa mostra as Índias Ocidentais e abrange a região desde Chesapeake até ao Golfo do México, com a América Central e a parte norte da América do Sul. Duas encantadoras cartelas com querubins e sereias decoram os cantos opostos. Oito navios navegam pelos mares e três canoas nativas são representadas na costa da América do Norte. O mapa apresenta uma série de mitos cartográficos interessantes. Estes incluem dois grandes lagos inexistentes na região da Geórgia ocidental e uma cadeia de montanhas inexistente que se estende dos Piemontes ao longo do continente norte-americano. Na América do Sul, o arquétipo do mito cartográfico, Manoa o' El Dorado (a cidade dourada), está localizado nas margens do Lacus Parime vel Roponowini, na Guiana. Este é o segundo estado com a adição do privilégio na cartela.
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 with 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 the privilege added to the cartouche.
