This boldly engraved chart of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean is filled with interesting information, with many forts and towns named. The British colony of Georgia extends to Mobile Bay, and its boundary with Florida is noted as Limits Stipulated 1738, leaving the Spanish colony of Florida occupying only the peninsula. A line further south is noted as the Southern Bounds [Georgia] by Charter 1665. The southern portion of Florida is shown as a jumble of large islands, named Bay del Spiritu Santo. Texas is named as the New Kingdom of Leon. The map was engraved by Thomas Kitchin.
