500 Year American Map Named America First

500 year american 500 Year American Map Named America First

Map that named America is a puzzle for researchers



The only surviving copy of the 500-year-old map that first used the name America goes on permanent display this month at the Library of Congress, but even as it prepares for its debut, the 1507 Waldseemuller map remains a puzzle for researchers.

Why did the mapmaker name the territory America and then change his mind later How was he able to draw South America so accurately Why did he put a huge ocean west of America years before European explorers discovered the Pacific

"The actual shape of South America is correct," said Hebert. "The width of South America at certain key points is correct within 70 miles of accuracy."

Given what Europeans are believed to have known about the world at the time, it should not have been possible for the mapmakers to produce it, he said.

The map gives a reasonably correct depiction of the west coast of South America. But according to history, Vasco Nunez de Balboa did not reach the Pacific by land until 1513, and Ferdinand Magellan did not round the southern tip of the continent until 1520.

"From the writings of Vespucci you couldn't have prepared the map," Hebert said. "There had to be something cartographic with it."
