Tabula Geographico-Hydrographica. Motus Oceani Currentes in Universo Orbe Indicans.

Sulzbach, Germany: 1679. Notes: An uncommon and unusual world map on Mercator's projection, published in Medulla Mirabilium Naturae.
The Arctic and Antarctic are shown as insets at the left. California is shown as an island.
"An unusual feature is the placing of large lakes in the mountainous regions of the Alps, the Himalayas, the central Andesand southern Africa. In spite of the title the map does not indicate ocean currents and only three volcanoes, all emerging from the sea, are shown".--Shirley, Size : 250x353 (mm), 9.84x13.90 (Inches), Coloring: Hand Colored, Reference: Shirley # 488., Category: Maps World;.
