At the far eastern extreme of this map Jeso-Gasimia, or Hokkaido, is mapped speculatively along its northern shore. The island of Sahalien (or Sakhalin) also appears with erroneous shores. A decorative title cartouche appears in the lower right corner. This is an uncommon and rarely seen map. Drawn by R. Bonne in 1770 for issue as plate no.
