This charming map of Mexico and Central America includes the western portion of Cuba and the southern tip of Florida. Texas is named Floride, while Florida is named Teqeste.

A nice impression with original outline color in the map and later color in the cartouche, on a watermarked sheet with light toning along the centerfold and edges of the sheet.
