The various American states are shown extending to the Mississippi River following the Mitchell map. In the west, Point Sir Francis Drake is shown, a reference to Drake's Bay, pre-dating the appearance of San Francisco on a printed map. A vast section of western Canada is simply titled, Parts Unknown. The Sandwich Islands (Hawaii) are identified as “O why-hee”. The mapping of the Northwest Coast of America and Alaska post-dates James Cook, but pre-dates Vancouver.
