The map extends from the eastern shores of Louisiana, through the Florida coast, and includes Bay St. Bernard, Mobile Bay, Pensacola Bay, St. Joseph Bay, and the Apalachee Bay. De Batz’s map is particularly valuable for its accurate depiction of coastal features, including inlets, rivers, and the locations of key ports and bays. It also illustrates the strategic importance of the Gulf Coast for the French colonial empire, as it was a vital corridor for communication and trade between Louisiana and other parts of the French and Spanish territories in North America.
