    Kashynor notes, "Saurce was interested in some scheme at Vera Paz; he refers to map No. 668 [093:668m] above, in a footnote, regarding its proper location." [Saurce quotes the full title of the Ogilby Atlas [America,...] of 1671 in manuscript form, and also notes numerous authors who have used that work. This map is apparently a hand drawn copy of Ogilby's map of the same name from that Atlas.] MS note in pencil "see other copy....". Relief: pictorial. Projection: Cylindrical. Verso Text: MS note: 670 on linen backing.
