History

Display of Sakhalin on maps varied throughout the 18th century. This map from a 1773 atlas, based on the earlier work by d'Anville, who in his turn made use of the information collected by Jesuits in 1709, asserts the existence of Sakhalin – but only assigns to it the northern half of the island and its northeastern coast (with Cape Patience, discovered by de Vries in 1643)
Mamiya Rinzō described Sakhalin as an island in his map.

De Vries (1643) mapped Sakhalin's eastern promontories without realising that he had visited an island (map from 1682)
