Johann Michael Probst was a German cartographer who lived from 1740 to 1809. He is known for his work as a mapmaker and publisher. One of his notable works is the map titled "Novus Orbis Sive America Meridionalis et Septentrionalis" (New World or South and North America), which was published in 1784.

Probst's map "Novus Orbis" provides a detailed depiction of the Americas, including both North and South America. It showcases the geography, coastlines, rivers, mountain ranges, and major settlements of the continent. The map also includes decorative elements, such as pictorial representations of native plants, animals, and indigenous peoples.

During the 18th century, cartography played a significant role in documenting and disseminating knowledge about newly explored regions. Probst's map contributed to the understanding of the Americas and their geographical features during that time. It reflected the cartographic knowledge available in the late 18th century and was likely used by explorers, scholars, and individuals interested in understanding the New World.

It's worth noting that Probst's map was created well after the initial European contact with the Americas, which occurred in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. By the 18th century, considerable exploration and mapping efforts had taken place, resulting in a more accurate representation of the continent's geography compared to earlier maps. However, it's important to recognize that cartography during this period was still subject to limitations in surveying techniques and available data, so some inaccuracies or omissions may be present in Probst's map.
