Description
An account of the resource
This layer shows the outlines of continents, both known and unknown. The only color on the map traces the known coasts of North America (yellow), Greenland and nearby land (green), and Asia (pink). The relatively unknown coasts of the land around present-day Alaska, which is the focus of the map, are not colored. Rather, all of the postulated North Pacific land is lightly shaded yellow, and some of the less-known coasts are marked with light dotted lines. I have also included on this layer the place names and notes on the land in the North Pacific because these seem to be important indicators of how this land that the map is reporting was discovered and the kind of information that is needed to clarify this indistinct landmass into a well-known continent like the other landmasses on the map with their clearly delineated and colored outlines.
