Uncommon chart of the British settlements on the east coast of the Avalon Peninsula with good coastal detail. The chart is centered on a large compass rose. This chart has been trimmed from a folio sheet that originally included other maps. The Atlas Maritimus was published anonymously, but it is thought to have been the work of John Senex, John Harris and Henry Wilson.
