This matching pair of charts give a detailed view of the coastline of Labrador from Sandwich Bay to Cape Charles. The coasts are filled with depth soundings, safe anchorages, tiny islands, and navigational hazards. A large inset on the southern sheet gives greater detail of Mecklenbourg Harbor, Port Charlotte, Mosquito Cove, and Sophia Harbour. Le Rouge based his maps on Thomas Jefferys maps and published them in his North American Pilot.
