This striking small map focuses on Panama Bay and names several of the Pearl Islands. It spans from Punta Chame to Garachine and shows mountains and the mouths of several rivers. A note off the coast indicates "Here the Vice Admiral was lost in the Year 1631." This map is not listed in Captain Kit Kapp's carto-bibliography of maps of Panama.
