Description
This fascinating map covers an area of modern day Mexico and the southwestern United States between Baja California and the Florida Panhandle, extending north as far as Taos, New Mexico. Toponyms reflect an interesting mix of Spanish missions, indigenous villages, ranchos, settlements, and more.
New Orleans, Pensacola, Mobile and San Antonio are all labeled. Topography is depicted pictorially and a large Rio du Nord (Rio Grande) is shown running from the top of the page into the Gulf of Mexico.
Published in Paris around 1780 by Rigobert Bonne.
