"West Indies", Arrowsmith, John

This handsome map focuses on the Caribbean and Central America, giving good inland detail of rivers, lakes, topography and towns. A small inset continues the coast of Guatemala further north; Guatemala encompasses all of El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. British Honduras, which later became Belize, is also shown. The remaining areas - Florida, the Yucatan Peninsula, and the northern coast of South America - are defined only along the coasts. The Cape Florida Settlement, which later became Miami, is identified in southern Florida. A note in the Atlantic Ocean explains the different terms for the islands used by Spanish and English mariners.
