Abraham Ortelius' map of Tartary, Japan, and the west coast of North America, from Ortelius' Theatrum Orbis Terarrum, the first modern atlas of the world. This map is the earliest obtainable map to name California and is one of the first to include the Strait of Anian, which separates North America and Asia. It provides a remarkable representation of what was then the Tartar Kingdom, extending from the Caspian Sea in the west, to China, Japan and Russia in the east.
