Abraham Ortelius created a map specifically dedicated to the Azores islands, titled "Acores Insulae" or "The Islands of the Azores." This map was included in his atlas "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" and was first published in 1584.

The map "Acores Insulae" depicted the Azores archipelago in the North Atlantic Ocean, showcasing the individual islands and their relative positions. It provided a representation of the Azores based on the knowledge and exploration of the time, although it's important to note that the accuracy of maps from the 16th century might differ from contemporary cartography.

Ortelius' map of the Azores was significant as it contributed to the dissemination of geographical information about the islands and their location. 

Abraham Ortelius was a renowned Flemish cartographer and geographer who lived from 1527 to 1598. He is best known for his work in creating the first modern atlas, titled "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" or "The Theatre of the World." This atlas, first published in 1570, consisted of a collection of maps from various sources, organized in a systematic manner.
