notes:

This map, which was not authorized by Burriel (the editor of this book), was based on the Philippe Buache / Joseph Nicolas de l'Isle map presented by de l'Isle on April 8, 1750, at the Académie Royale des Sciences in Paris. It caused an immediate sensation. The map showed the results of Vitus Bering's two voyages for Russia along the Aleutian islands and the apocryphal discoveries of the ficticious Spanish Admiral Bartholomé de Fonte.Fonte was alleged to have discovered the Northwest Passage connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans via a series of lakes and rivers. A number of these waterways are shown on this map.Venegas, a prominent Mexican Jesuit, finished the manuscript of this book in 1739, but it was extensively revised by Andrés Marcos Burriel. The book is considered the first history of California.
