Description:

Kino's discoveries have now made full impact. Anville's map shows California as a peninsula and the Colorado and Gila Rivers are more accurately located. Note that the western part of the Gila River is named the "Rio Grande", the Santa Cruz River is called "Sta. Maria", and the San Pedro River is "Terenate". Anville (1697-1782) was a leading French cartographer of the eighteenth century. In addition to several atlases, he published over 200 maps, including several of the world. His maps are notable both for their beauty and their scientific accuracy. His famous personal collection of maps was acquired by Louis XVI in 1779.
