This map depicts the Windward Islands from St. Lucia to Grenada, and extends east to include Barbados. Place names are confined to the islands of Barbados, St. Lucia, and Grenada. Interestingly, Grenada is depicted upside-down, with Fort George (Fort et Bourg) shown on the northeast end of the island. This is the southern sheet of a two-sheet map of the Lesser Antilles islands. Each map is complete with its own borders and title, but the compass rose is split between the two maps.
