A fine early detailed map of the Magellan Straits and Tierra Del Fuego. Various anchorage’s and hazards are shown in some detail. Tierra del Fuego is claimed for England being named ‘King Charles’s South Land’. Legends describe the island as ‘A rocky Mountainous Desolate Land’. A key lower right names several islands in the straight. This map comes from one of the rarest of Moll’s atlases; the ‘Atlas Geographicus: Or, A Compleat System of Geography’. It was first advertised to the public in 1708 as issued in parts. The first volume appeared in 1711 with four subsequent in 1711, 1712, 1714 and 1717. Shirley BL T.Moll 3a no. 84.
