Answer:

You did not add the image, but the map showing the Sea of China and the indies on the other side of Virginia, was probably created the cartographer designed the map like this to encourage European explorers to travel to North America.

Explanation:

At the time of European colonialism, it was common for cartographers to draw maps that achieved the objectives of European explorers and merchants and function as an invitation for them to visit certain territory.

An example of this may have happened with the map created by John Ferrar, which shows the China Sea and the Indians on the other side of Virginia. With that, the cartographer wanted to stimulate the visit of European explorers to northern maerica, stating that North America would establish an easier sea route to reach China or India.

In short, many maps had their information modified so that colonialist objectives were achieved.
