V-in-square map

A V-in-square map with all four edges correctly labelled by cardinal direction and the continents identified with Noah's sons and their climates (temperate Asia, frigid Europe and hot Africa).

The V-in-square (or V-in-◻) map is a highly schematic type of mappa mundi (world map) in use in Europe during the Middle Ages. It is based on and usually found in conjunction with the Etymologiae of Isidore of Seville.
