This decorative map covers the region from Mexico City to Panama City and extends to include part of Cuba, and is based on Blaeu's map of the Yucatan peninsula. Cozumel is named, and Lake Nicaragua is presented on an east-west orientation. This map is adorned with an allegorical title cartouche featuring a volcano, natives (one of whom is holding a parasol for a European), and Neptune and his entourage in the background.
