(Alaska – Pacific Northwest) Carte Generale Des Decouvertes de l'Amiral de Fonte et autres Navigateurs Espagnols...
An amazing amalgam of numerous different hypothetical views of Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. While it shows a large “Sea of the West” just above California, it also shows a clear Northwest passage that spans from roughly southern Alaska through to the Hudson strait. Actually Alaska as we think of it doesn't exist at all on this map, but rather speculation and a few odd land masses. One large island is shown to exist opposite Kamtchatka across the sea, but can't be identified as part of Alaska as we know it.
