Abstract

Primarily a navigational chart with soundings and rhumblines shown in the Gulf and Ocean. Coastal features and hazards are noted and shown in detail. Many of the names reflect British occupation, such as Ponce de Leon Bay at the southwestern tip of the peninsula being labelled Chatham Bay. Lake Okeechobee is labeled Spiritu Santo Lagoon. The route from St. Augustine to St. Marks of Apalache is shown.
