New Albion is seen in the northern part of the island, and Village des Canots has been inserted between P. de Carinde and P de la Conception. The north-west coast is cut by the Strait of Anian, which separates the mainland from Anian. The St Lawrence River connects to a single large inland lake that opens to the west.

A partial outline of New Zealand is shown in the South Pacific. The beautiful title cartouche shows natives trading New World products with European merchants.
