Coronelli's map, included in his atlas Atlante Veneto, first issued in 1691 and again in 1695, follows the globes issued by him in 1588.  The map incorporates many 17th-century cartographic assumptions about the Americas, depicting California as an island and following the La Salle model of the Mississippi River, emptying into the Gulf in the vicinity of Galveston Bay. McLaughlin 105; Shirley 548 (" a worthwhile addition to any collection").
