    Principally northeastern Asia with western north America; among the place names in the latter is Cape Californio (at the tip of Baja) and Sierra Nevada along the coast; Japan also is shown. Burden notes that "Unlike his map of America, this derives its cartography from Ortelius' own large world map of 1564. This is a very early depiction of the northern Pacific. Its main feature is the STRETTO DE ANIAN. This increased the public awareness of the 1561 Giacomo Gastaldi theory of a strait between the continents of Asia and America. At its southern entrance an enlarged Japan dominated, below which a note states that a large amount of the information in Asia emanates from the writings of Marco Polo. The west coast of North America differs from his map of America in that the peninsula is broader, some different names appear, and others are lacking." The map was engraved by Franz Hogenberg. Latin text on verso, with folio No. 108. Watermark: Horn.
