This chart depicts the coastline from the Outer Banks, North Carolina to Savannah, Georgia. There are hundreds of depth soundings and intricate details of the river inlets and islands along the coast. Railroads and early roads are also shown. Engraved by C. Leclercq and R. Alabern. The blindstamp of the Direccion de Hidrografia is at bottom left, and the price ("Precio 3 pesetas") is indicated at bottom right. A very uncommon chart.

A nice impression with light soiling, several small stains, and three vertical creases. The map has been backed in blue paper. There are some grayish shadows in the image that are caused by our scanner and don't appear on the chart itself.
