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 notes, "The map of Hudson's Bay is taken from Henry Elis, who made the voyage in 1746-47. There are three other charts of the Bay, Sanson, and Delisle, 1700 and 1703." This is one of the set of ten maps done by Didier Robert de Vaugondy for the Diderot Encyclopedia Supplement. It compares four views of Hudson's Bay to show the variance with time and information. See 105:433 for the DeLisle 1703 map. Kashnor refers to the lower right or latest map from Henry Ellis. Supple. Number trimmed from upper right margin. Four maps on one sheet.
