• Map focuses on the Gulf Coast east to the Atlantic and north, particularly New Orleans and the surrounding area.
• The map delineates the boundaries of the territory ceded to the Spanish Crown by the French King ("S. M. Christianisima"), illustrating the extent of the land transfer.
• Includes some Indigenous nations and towns but is more of a general depiction with some specific details rather than an accurate representation of who was where.
