"Carta Maritima del Reyno de Tierra Firme u Castilla del Oro Comprehende el Istmo y Provincia de Panama; las Provincias de Veragua, Darien y Biruquete", Lopez, Juan (don)

This is a rare Spanish map of western Panama, from Portobelo to the Costa Rican border. Rivers and mountain ranges running primarily from north to south fill the region. Towns are labeled along the coasts, with several roads depicted around Panama City. A flaming Volcan Baru is shown along the border with Costa Rica, despite the fact that it is not believed to have erupted since 500 AD. A block of text in the Pacific Ocean attributes the cartography to d'Anville, de Herrera, Bellin, Jefferys, and others. This is the western sheet of a two-sheet map.
