Manuscript Map

"Mapa Topografico de la Provincia de Sana en el Obispado de Truxillo en el Reino del Peru", Anon.

Manuscript map that shows the northwestern coast of Peru from the Piura region to today's La Libertad region, here called Provincia de Truxillo. Several towns are identified, with a small drawing of a building to denote each one. There is a fleur-de-lis in the Mar del Sur that orients north to the left, as wells as a few islands: Ysla de Lobos de Tierra, Ysla de Lobos de Fuera, and Farallones de Malabrigo.
