This finely engraved map covers the region from Panama to well north of Guadalajara. It shows just the tip of the Baja and Kaap S. Lucas. There is good detail throughout with many place names (Merida, Acapulco, Cozumel, etc.), rivers and mountain ranges noted. The map is adorned with a large title cartouche that is unique to the Bachiene edition.
