• Depicts Ascension Bay (modern-day Assumption Parish, Louisiana) to Tampa Bay, including detailed soundings and the mouths of the Mississippi River.
• The map is notable for its precise depiction of coastal features, including bays, inlets, and the delta of the Mississippi River. It also included depth measurements critical for Spanish navigators reflecting the Spanish Crown's strategic interest in protecting its colonies and trade routes in the Americas, especially during a period of increasing geopolitical tension in the late 18th century. - Subject
