The first chart (double-page, 11.8 x 7.6") shows Kingston and Port Royal as block city plans, the forts Passage and Rock, roads and habitations, numerous soundings, and more. It is embellished with a rococo-style cartouche, rhumb lines and a fleur-de-lys. The second chart (6 x 7.7") is a close-up plan of Port Royal with Ft. Charles controlling the entrance. Details include names of individual streets and important buildings. A rococo-style cartouche, rhumb lines, compass rose with a fleur-de-lys adorn the design.
