Florida is divided between East & West, with East Florida shown having two mountain ranges. The tip of Louisiana just makes it onto the map, locating New Orleans. There is excellent detail along the coast, especially the numerous islands off of the Honduran and Yucatan coasts. Published in either the 1790 or 1792 edition of Guthrie's Grammar.
