A map of North America first published in 1715 shows a continent where European settlements intermingle with indigenous powers. Running down the eastern seaboard, and bounded by the Sea of the British Empire (that is, the Atlantic Ocean), are the colonies of New England, New York, Virginia, and the Carolinas. Iroquois country is west of New York. Further west, large territories bear the names of New France and Louisiana, while to the west and south lay New Mexico, New Spain, and “Apaches de Navaio.” A region identified as New Britain or Eskimaux lies to the north. Interspersed with the larger colonial and native powers are some smaller territories and less familiar place names. New Denmark and New Ultra appear at the upper edge of the map on Buttons Bay, just north of New North Wales and northeast of “The Bogs Morasses & Lakes of the Assinopovals.” The “Kikapous” and other tribes of the northern plains appear west of the Great Lakes. “Ilinese” country separates New France from Louisiana, while New Scotland divides New Foundland from New England. The region of northern California claimed by Francis Drake in 1578 is identified as New Albion, while California itself appears as a large island separated from the mainland by the Gulf of California and the Red Sea. East of the Gulf of California, and immediately north of Apaches de Navaio, is “Great Teguia.” Still further north and merging into “Parts Unknown” is “Mozeemleck Country,” based on a description from the Baron Lahontan, and said to include “many villages.” This is an image of North America as a mixture of the familiar, the less familiar, the unknown, and the fantastic.
