This is a very scarce British Admiralty chart issued by the Hydrographical Office. Details are primarily confined to the coastlines where soundings, rocks, anchorages, and navigational notes are carefully denoted. The interior topography is shown with creeks, lakes, and marshes. The road from Arima to Port d'Esagna is shown as well as a few foot paths. The map was originally drawn by Edward H. Columbine in 1803 with additions made in 1816 by Thomas Hurd.
