Large-scale map of the gulf and the island of Gonave on the southwest coast of Haiti shows the location of Port au Prince and several villages and forts. A fine sea chart with rhumb lines and an unusual fleur-de-lys in the shape of a soldier's helmet. The map depicts the coastal topography, soundings, navigational hazards, anchorages, etc. The seal of the Depot de la Marine is to the left of the title with Prix Trente Sols before the neatline in the bottom right.
