• Hand-colored panoramic view of the Gulf Coast from the Mississippi River to Choctawhatchee Bay.
• Geographic features appear in mirror image; mouth of the Mississippi is to the right, Mobile and Pensacola to the left.
• Artistic portrayal of the northern Gulf Coast, highlighting the activities and interactions between Indigenous nations and colonial settlers. For instance, the portage between two waterways is depicted graphically by people carrying a boat. North of the Delta are Indigenous people hunting turkey, and on the east side of the Mississippi they are hunting buffalo, and on the west side deer.
