This paper investigates the provenance of the northern sector of the Jenkinson map of Russia printed by Ortelius in 1570. Scholarly opinion has been notably discordant on its authorship and its relationship to a chart drawn by William Borough of the northern coasts of Russia, whose date has also been disputed. An examination of literary sources, Borough's biography, and the map and chart leads to these conclusions: the northern sector of the map surely was drawn by Borough, it is closely related to Borough's chart, and – contrary to the datings others have assigned the chart – it must have been sketched in 1567– 68
