Published in the Atlas Universel de Geographie, the first atlas to have every map on the same scale, 1:1,641,836. Because of this standardization it was the first time that some areas of the world were shown with any detail. However, the interior of the peninsula is mostly blank and some of the coastal features are incorrect.
