Louisiana is to the west and Carolina occupies a large area north. Locates Pensacola, St. Augustine, Beaufort, Charlestown, and the forts George, Argile, First, Conde, and more. There are many early settlements and forts named. Includes the northern portion of the Bahamas Islands. Page number 61 engraved above neatline.
