A stunning 1768 map of Kamchatka by Jean-Baptiste Chappe d'Auteroche and Stepan Petrovič Krašeninnikov. This map covers from Korfa Bay south to the northernmost Kuril Islands, and from the Sea of Okhotsk to the Pacific Ocean. There is superb detail throughout, including beautiful profile renderings of inland mountain ranges, river systems, lakes, and roadways. When this map was issued Kamchatka was one of the most remote and sparsely inhabited places on Earth – it remains very much the same today. (more details)
