A large inset at bottom center depicts the port and city of Mahon on the island of Menorca, with a lettered key identifying numerous locations. At bottom right is an inset showing the location of the Balearic islands in relation to Spain and the Mediterranean. A decorative title cartouche, a compass rose, and rhumb lines make this a handsome chart. French text below map gives navigational information regarding the islands.
