This anonymous map covers the entire Caribbean Basin along with portions of the southern United States and northern South America. Florida has a spurious mountain range running to Lake George and is politically divided between East & West. There is excellent coastal detail with numerous places names, ports, bays, shoals, and tiny islands. A key at bottom identifies the colonial possessions of the English, French, Spanish, Dutch and Danish.
