A handsome and fully engraved map covering the Southern U.S., Central America, the West Indies, and northern South America. It presents a fascinating configuration of Florida as wedge-shaped with a flat bottom. The chart is covered with interesting notations concerning the history of the region, territorial claims, and the Spanish gold fleet. The seas are fully engraved with ruled lines and an extensive array of trade-wind arrows. Compass rose and block-style title cartouche. A long notation gives sailing directions from Europe, Africa, Florida to Jamaica, and from Jamaica to the Windward Passage. It was published in the January 1740 issue of the Gentleman's Magazine.
