"Plan des Villes, Forts, Port, Rade et Environ de Cartagene Situee dans l'Amerique Meridionale dans la Province de Terre Ferme Appartenant aux Espagnols", Fer, Nicolas de

This map of Cartagena and the surrounding bay depicts the important port city as a bird's-eye plan with a numbered key identifying 12 locations. Three forts surrounding the city and bay are shown. The surrounding countryside is filled with vegetation, trails, and a hew houses. A fleur-de-lis orients north to the bottom left of the map. Adorned with a drape-style cartouche and engraved by C. Inselin. This is the first state.
