This small map covers the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean and locates numerous places names, rivers, lakes, and a few mountains. Florida appears more narrow and elongated with the southern tip being an archipelago of islands. There is a surprising amount of detail for its size, particularly along the coastlines. Decorated by a simple block-style title cartouche. Deckled edges.
