This seldom seen chart covers the area from the southern tip of Florida to Porto Rico. It shows many place names, rivers, topography and constant depth lines surround many of the islands. A simple and fully colored, circular title cartouche and a compass rose are placed in the open waters of the Atlantic. The map carries a strong impression and is beautifully colored. We understand this map is rarely offered with only three copies known to us in the past 15 years.
