An early edition of this important map of Panama extending from Honduras to Colombia and as far as Jamaica. The map details the major ports along the route of the Spanish treasure ships to and from Carthagena and Portobello, both shown as fortified cities. This map was issued separately and as part of a large 6-part map. This is the separately issued state as it contains its own title cartouche. Further this map is without the course of the treasure fleet, indicating an earlier edition. The earliest know advertisements to sell this map date to May, 1740, however the partnership of Josua and Reiner began in 1725.
