This small map of the South is based largely on the earlier maps of Sanson and Duval. It provides good detail from the Mississippi Valley to Florida, retaining the spurious May Lake and an incorrect location and course of the Mississippi River. A drape style title cartouche adorns the map.

References: Cumming (SE) #106.

Condition: B
