Goos' charts are considered the most beautiful of sea charts; this being no exception with a fabulous title cartouche, sailing ships and compass roses. This rare chart extends from Mexico City, Mexico to Quintero, Chile, which is located just north of present-day Santiago. The chart focuses on Central America and the western coast of South America with numerous place names filling the coastlines.
