This map of the Western
Hemisphere and edges of the Eastern Hemisphere shows the locations of a few
communities and depicts Greenland as a peninsula extending from the North
American sector of the boreal land mass, which itself continues to Asia.
Canada is labeled Gadinus. Both
California and Tierra del Fuego are shown as islands.
