annotates

Nautical chart of the Gulf of Mexico coast from Matagorda Bay, Texas east through Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama to Saint Joseph Bay, Florida. Compiled following the 1721 expedition undertaken by Valentin Devin, Jean B?ranger, and Jean-Baptiste de La Harpe in search of Robert Cavelier de La Salle's earlier landing site at Matagorda Bay; the latter expedition landed instead at Galveston Bay. Includes references A-I. Scale approximately 1:1,540,000. Bound together in 1727 as an atlas comprised of 115 sheets. This map is Sheet 078. Nearly identical to the 1732 Anonymous map of similar name. Slight differences in word positioning and northern extent. This version contains a key in the top right corner.
