This handsome map of Jamaica shows the 18 parishes along with towns, roads, and topography. The map is from the Italian edition of Mitchell's map of the British Settlements in North America. However, this map of Jamaica is unique to the Zatta edition and is not found on any other variant of Mitchell's important map. The map is presented as a scroll-like inset within wider borders and is graced with a compass rose.
