R. del Norte (Rio Grande River) erroneously drains into the Gulf of California. The two western Great Lakes are open-ended, and Lake Erie is placed too far south. British posessions center on a large Virginia.Floride Francoise is today's CarolinasandN. Suede (Sweeden), N. Pays Bas (Netherlands) andN. Hollende are shown further up the East Coast.
