This map of the island was engraved by John Arrowsmith for Detaille and Jamet. It divides Saint Lucia into five districts. There are plenty of place names around the coast, including many bays, bights, and ports. Inland there is fine topographical detail, including some elevation figures. A key at right identifies 81 "properties in cultivation."
