This detailed and expansive map covers all of the southern United States north to the Carolinas and Cape Henry. It continues west through the region labeled Great Space of Land unknown to the southern tip of Baja California. All of the Caribbean is shown, naming the Great Antilles, Cuba, and the Bahamas, with the Windward and Leeward together identified as the Caribbe Is. The map is filled with place names, rivers, and Indian tribes. Decorated with a delicate title cartouche.
