March map (that being A New Map of EUROPE according to the Present General Divisions and Names of its Countries together with their Capital Cities Chief Rivers Mountains etc from Edward Wells' A New Set of Maps both Antient and Present Geography...together with a Geogrpahical Treatise particularly adapted to the use and design of the maps, London 1722) is interesting because it has nice clear divisions showing with easy to read country names. The Capital Cities Chief Rivers Mountains etc are a little harder to read in places, but still it's a change from the usual maps with mostly unreadable names filling up every space.

For interest, the countries on the map are:

Portugal
Spaine
France
Ireland
England
Scotland
Netherlands
Germany
Switzerland
Italy
Denmark
Norway
Sweden
Poland
Hungarie
Transilvania
Moldavia
Walachia
Turky in Europe
Morea
Great Russia or Moscovie
Lesser or Crim Tartary
