In a generally interesting collection of Venetian Renaissance drawings are the following maps which can be zoomed in on, etc:
1) Battista Agnese (ca. 1500–1564) Portolan Atlas, on vellum, 1536–64; Map of the World with Magellan's Route.
2) Benedetto Bordone (1460–1531); Isolario (Book of Islands); Printed by Nicolò Zappino in Venice, 1528; Map of Vinegia (Venice).
The Agnese map is particularly interesting, showing much of the north western part of North America as unknown. It is amazing, though, how quickly the world filled in for the European cartographers in the 16th century.
