This elegantly engraved chart locates Fort St. Louis and the Ville de St. Louis in southern Haiti. On March 22, 1748, this was the site of the Battle of Saint-Louis-du-Sud, a conflict in the Austrian War of Succession. Depth soundings, anchorages, and hazards fill the bay. The map is decorated with a nice title cartouche and a compass rose radiating rhumblines that the orients north to the bottom right of the sheet.
