This is the eastern sheet of Bonne's two-part map Carte de la Guinee… This sheet, with its own borders, provides a detailed view of the coastal regions from Cote d'Ivoire to Angola. Political divisions, towns and cities, rivers, mountains, deserts, and more are identified. The interior of the continent is still largely unexplored.
