Francisco, and much more. Florida is divided into West and East. The map further shows numerous place names, provinces, topography, missions, towns, forts, and Indian tribes. The relief is shown by hachure and the seas are fully engraved with closely placed ruled lines. A simple title cartouche floats in the lower left. Engraved by Lowry.
