This uncommon map covers the present-day southern United States, Central America, the Caribbean and northern South America. This early edition does not contain the notations and inset of Vera Cruz, which was added later to provide information on the War of Jenkin's Ear. With two compass roses and rhumb lines, this map is also without the trade wind icons or references to Spanish Galleons as seen in later editions.
