Superb nautical chart covering the northeastern coast of Mexico extending inland to show Mexico City. Several ships' tracks are shown in the Gulf including the track of the Flota from Vera Cruz to Havana to avoid the trade winds and the track of the Nautilus in 1764, rhumb lines, etc. Beautifully engraved with rhumb lines, a splendid compass rose and tiny ships. This is the first state with Robert Sayer's imprint at bottom. It is one sheet of the sixteen-sheet map of the West Indies that formed the heart of this important Revolutionary period atlas. Sheet number CE.5 printed at upper right.
