This is an uncommon topographical map of Saint Helena, a volcanic island in the South Atlantic Ocean. The rugged terrain of the island is depicted by hachure, and there is also good detail of towns, roads, rivers, and vegetation. Surrounding the island are hundreds of depth soundings, as well as safe anchorages and navigational hazards. The map was based on a survey by John Barnes with depth soundings by Captain F.W. Austin. Engraved by J. & C. Walker.
