This chart depicts the coastline from Savannah, Georgia to Cape Canaveral, Florida. There are hundreds of depth soundings, the location of the Gulf Stream, and intricate details of the river inlets and islands along the coast. Railroads and early roads are also shown. Drawn by J. Riudavets and engraved by E. Perez and S. Bregante. The blindstamp of the Direccion de Hidrografia is at bottom left. A very uncommon chart.

A nice impression on a bright, watermarked sheet with some small stains, a number of old manuscript notations in pencil, and several short tears and small holes in the image at bottom that have been professionally repaired. The lighthouses have contemporary hand color in red and yellow.
