BMC 65--Norumbega et Virginia, 1597
- The map notes the eastern coastline of North America, from the Outer Banks of North Carolina to Cape Breton Island. It is a record of European knowledge of the region immediately prior to the English voyages of discovery and settlement in Virginia and New England and Champlain’s French expeditions to eastern Canada. The name Norumbega designated the unknown lands of northeastern America until John Smith explored the region and published his map of 1614 christening the territory New England.

BMC 66--Nova Francia et Canada, circa 1597
- This map is the first appearance of the name "Canada" on a printed map and the first map to focus on the St. Lawrence River and Gulf of St. Lawrence. The map depicts Canada from just below Montreal (Iroquois settlement of Hochelaga) on the St. Lawrence, depicting the known regions of Canada at the end of the 16th Century. Prince Edward Island appears as the “Y. de S. Johan” and Newfoundland is shown as an archipelago with its Portuguese name, “Terra de Bacallaos” or “Land of Cod.”
