The rare map of the Americas from Heylyn's 1703 Cosmography. Unusual features of the map include the depiction of California as an island (uncommon in English maps); an extended northwest coastline with the Desolation and Zapozipin Bays; a river rising out of the Florida panhandle; and three mythical lakes: L. Aquinanbock, L. of Isles, and the very large The Great Lake of Thongo or Thoya. The map is sometimes attributed to Robert Morden. McLaughlin 154.
