A map of North America, drawn and engraved by Seale for 'Mr. Tindal's Continuation of Mr. Rapin's History of England', with the Indian nations marked. Cartographical mistakes include California is an island, the Straits of Anian, Frobisher's Strait in Greenland and a Lake Nicaragua that opens up into the Caribbean and nearly reaches the Pacific.
The most famous cartographical mistake was the mapping of California as an island, a myth that lasted one-and-a-half centuries.
