This attractive map covers the region from western Florida through California and northern Mexico and is filled with place names. In Texas there is a city named Texas and a notation concerning the death of the French explorer, La Salle. There is excellent detail, particularly of the Jesuit missions in Mexico and the Southwest. In present day Arizona, the Gila River is named Rio de los Apostolos. The Baja Peninsula is wildly mis-shapen.
