This small and attractive map details the region from West Florida through northern Mexico and California. In Texas, there is a city named Texas and a notation concerning the death of the explorer La Salle. There is excellent detail, particularly of the Jesuit missions in Mexico and the Southwest. In present-day Arizona, the Gila River is named Rio de los Apostolos. The map is filled with place names and Indian villages, especially in today's Arizona and New Mexico. The Baja peninsula is wildly misshapen.
