"A Chart of the Island of Jamaica, with Its Bays, Harbours, Rocks, Soundings, &c.", Bew, John

This striking map of Jamaica is divided into the counties of Cornwall, Middlesex, and Surry and subdivided further into a number of parishes. The map is teeming with detail along the coasts, with a myriad of bays, rivers, harbors, cliffs, coves, and the like named. In the water, reefs, anchorages, and soundings are shown. There is considerably less detail inland, although many mountains are depicted, including the Blue Mountains. A compass rose capped with a fleur-de-lis appears at bottom left. Engraved by John Lodge.
