The map also includes two inset maps: "The Harbour of Boston or Massachusetts Bay," and "A General Map of the Coasts and Isles of Europe, Africa, and America." The borders are hand-colored, showing the division of land between the colonies, France, Spain, and British claims in Canada. Lake Erie, Ontario, and Superior are each labeled with an additional name (Felis, Contario, and Nadouessious respectively), and Lake Michigan is referred to as Lake Illinovecks. Senex extends the range of the Appalachian Mountains up through Michigan, and notes "On the top of these mountains is a plaine like a terras walk above 200 miles in length." |
