"Golfe du Mexique Assujetti aux Observations Astronomiques", Nolin, Jean Batiste

This interesting small map of the region includes dozens of place names and exaggerated features. Southern Florida is shown as an archipelago with an oversized St. John's River. The Mississippi River is shown flowing well to the west of New Orleans, which appears on an oddly shaped peninsula with a very narrow isthmus. Adorned with a decorative cartouche. Published in Mondhare's rare Atlas General.
