The earliest Dutch maps that I am aware of depicting a part of the Pacific North of Japan followed the 1643 voyage of Martin Gerritsen de Vries. He sailed along Hokkaido, several of the Kuril islands, and part of Sakhalin. This led to a considerable amount of speculative geography involving Jesso (Iesso, Yezo, Sesso, Iezo, etc), and Company Land. No Aleutians, I am afraid.
