This elegantly engraved and nicely detailed map shows present-day Gabon, Congo, and Angola. Several towns and cities are named, contemporary political divisions are delineated, and several rivers are traced. A road spans from Luanda to Kamga M on the Congo River. Notes in French text indicate speechless tribes, an area destroyed by the Portuguese, silver mines, and more. A key at bottom left identifies abbreviations used in the map. The title is contained in an ornate cartouche.
