Just before the theory of Terra Australis, a giant southern landmass that kept the world balanced was debunked by James Cook’s 2nd voyage in the 1770s, one of the most interesting depictions Terra Australis was published.

First published in 1739, republished in 1754, and continuing to be until 1770, this map shows an inland body of water running right through it.
