This map was originally issued on a sheet also containing a map of St. Kitts, and has been trimmed along the right border to stand on its own. It is oriented with northeast at the top, and depicts the roads, towns and tribes on the island, as well as navigational hazards in the surrounding waters. There are several notes on the map giving more detail about the islands. Decorated by a baroque-style title cartouche.
