    Historically it's always interesting to look at what cartographers focused on, take this 1600 map from Matthias Quad he tends to focus on landmass and rivers—where this 1700 map from Nicolas der Fer is very ocean focused, and then you have something like Pierre-Jean Mariette's 1646 map of the Americas which sketches out mountain ranges (incorrectly) and hits on some inlets/rivers and a few settlements.
