This chart extends from the southern tip of Florida through the Bahamas and Cuba. Also shows Grand Cayman and part of St. Domingo. The Bahamas Island group are particularly well shown. The chart is surrounded by text detailing the history and other information on the region. On 22 x 17.5" sheet.

The only flaw within the map is light centerfold toning. At left in the text is a light stain and there are a few edge chips in the blank margins and short centerfold splits at edge.
