The east coast of Mexico and all of the Yucatan, Guatimala, the Mosquito Coast (Independent), Costa Rica, and Panama are detailed. The islands of the Caribbean are well shown through the Windward's to Trinidad. Some coastal names exist along the Gulf in the United States and Florida, and the northern coast of South America. Legend shows colonial holdings via outline coloring.
