This map of the Orient, from 1570, shows Lake Chia May, south of China. Lake Chia May feeds the great rivers of South Asia and is depicted on many such maps, but does not actually exist. To the right of this map, a double-spouted sea monster threatens a ship while two mermaids examine themselves with seashell mirrors.
