This is a very nice street plan of Santo Domingo, the present-day capital of the Dominican Republic. A legend indicates the location of 22 significant features on the map. Anchorages and soundings are shown. The chart is embellished with rococo-style cartouche, rhumb lines, and fleur-de-lys. Santo Domingo is the oldest continually inhabited European settlement in the Americas, and was at the time of this map's publication a Spanish colonial possession.
