This is an uncommon map of the Caribbean showing the colonial holdings of Britain, France, Spain, the Netherlands and Denmark after the Treaty of Paris in 1763, by way of a lettered key at left. Southern Florida is shown with large, interconnected waterways effectively turning the region into an archipelago. The map was derived from the Thomas Jefferys'' 1760 map of the same title.
