Large-scale topographical map of this mountainous island in the Windward Islands with great detail of the roads, plantations, villages, ports and fortifications. The French and British struggled for dominance of the island through much of the 18th century. It was captured by the British in 1762, during the Seven Years' War, and formally ceded to Great Britain in 1763 through the Treaty of Paris. The British governor of Grenada and the Windward Islands, George Scott, ordered the survey shown on this map.
