This chart of South America is dense with names along its coastlines. Rivers are tracked inland, but otherwise there is little information provided about the interior of the continent. In addition to a number of smaller islands, the Falkland Islands and Terra del Fuego (which appears as one large island with a few small satellites) are identified. The chart was engraved by Neele for Rev. John Malham (1747-1821), a writer and teacher of navigation, for Malham's The Naval Gazetteer; or, Seaman's Complete Guide.
