This scarce coastal chart of the coastlines of Mexico is from a late French hydrographical atlas. The map extends north to the Bay of San Diego in California and to the Soconusco Volcano on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. On the Gulf of Mexico side, the map extends beyond the Mermentau River in western Louisiana and includes many place names and soundings in Texas.
