⠀The portion of the Hondius Broadside Map containing "The Island" (left) and "The Peninsula" (right)
Please note the shape of the outline of "The Peninsula" on both the Hondius Map and the Google Earth image. They are identical. Also, take note of the white circle (a water tank) at the top of the Google Earth Image. The water tank is located on the spot from which a natural spring once flowed. The tank will serve as a future point of reference for "The Treasure Site".
Contours of "The Island" are Highlighted on this Planning Stage Topographic Map of Greenbrae Ridge
Note that the shapes of "The Island" on the Hondius Map and the Highlighted Topographic Map are identical. "The Island" is simply a more detailed (close-up) view of the shape of the land where the treasure was buried along "The Peninsula" (Greenbrae Ridge).
The Coordinates of Nova Albion
IMMEDIATELY BELOW IS THE PROOF THAT EVERYTHING YOU WILL
SEE AND READ ON THIS WEBSITE IS CORRECT!
After spending nearly twenty years on this project, a new idea popped into my head!
I decided to look at the words Portus Nova Albionis on the Hondius map for any additional clues that might prove the location of Nova Albion. By folding these words along the small lines on the map and turning them upside down or reversing them I was able to confirm what I believed were the coordinates of Nova Albion! The results were shocking!
