Notes: This map is more or less an imaginary place. Quivira was one of the Seven Cities of Gold that was supposedly somewhere in the vicinity of present-day Kansas, nowhere near the Arctic Circle that is clearly marked on this map. Anian refers to the supposed Northwest Passage, probably the Bering Strait.
