Capitalized text (Map layer)

Capitalized text

I chose to incorporate only the capitalized text in this layer for two reasons: (1) It seems to me that choice of the font/size of the textual references bears some implications about how important certain features were to the map-makers (the more prominent the text; the more important the text to the meaning of the map). (2) a practical reason: the small-printed (cursive) textual references in the map are manifold and printed in such a high density that I could not possibly trace them all. Almost all the capitalized text on this map seems to refer to toponyms (place or region names, rivers, oceans) or to the names of native American tribes (e.g. Matouwacs, Nahicans, etc.)
