This finely engraved French map of the region spans from Isla Grande de Chiloe south past Cape Horn. There is excellent coastal detail, including several bays, ports, rivers, and small islands. Active volcanoes are graphically depicted near Purgatoire on the western coast and in Tierra del Fuego. The Maldives are rendered as a large island without a defined western coast. "Tome XI No. 1" at bottom right.
