- The map provides a detailed depiction of West Florida, the Isle of Orleans (which includes New Orleans), and adjacent Spanish territories to the west of the Mississippi River. Map highlights key geographic features such as rivers, coastlines, and settlements, emphasizing the strategic importance of these regions. The map likely served as a tool for British and Spanish officials to navigate the newly defined boundaries and to administer their respective territories effectively. West Florida, a newly created British colony, is prominently featured, reflecting its significance as a buffer zone between British and Spanish holdings. The Isle of Orleans, containing New Orleans, is shown as a critical area for controlling access to the Mississippi River, a vital artery for trade and military movements in the region.
