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.

Kashnor has simply copied the notes he wrote for 093:178M, the 1711 earlier edition of this map. This later edition has two major corrections. California is correctly attached to the mainland, contrary to Kashnor's note above. Also the Kamschatka peninsula is now depicted in northeast Asia. See also 105:243M for another 1711 copy.
