This scarce and detailed Spanish chart extends from the St. Johns River, Florida north to the Chesapeake Bay and New York Harbor. Cities and towns are named along the coast including Savannah, Charleston, Norfolk, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and Philadelphia, but most of the detail is focused on the various waterways meeting the Atlantic. The Chesapeake Bay is rendered in particularly fine detail. Navigational details include numerous depth soundings, shoals, offshore islands, currents, and more. Drawn by C. Noguera and engraved by R. Esteve. Adorned by the insignia of the Direccion de Hidrografia in the bottom right corner.
