Kashnor notes, "The best of the early English maps, giving particulars of the West. The Mississippi is given with all its tributaries, the Red, Arkansas and Missouri Rivers, the last-named being shown with remarkable correctness, its course reaching to the north of the Rockies, where it is stated that the Spaniards ford the river to trade with the people to the North-West for "yellow iron." The map shows New Mexico, and locates Santa Fe." Kashnor dates as [1719]. New Orleans does not appear, same as on l'Isle map of same year.
