Kashnor notes, "A valuable map in being one of the last to give the old coast-line to the North-West from California to the supposed entrance to De Fonte's North-West Passage. The entrance to the River of the West is in practically the same latitude as the Columbia River, and the Entrance of Juan de Fuca is also correct. Cook was sailing up the coast when this was issued."
