Description

1729 Antique Map of the West-Indies Mexico or New Spain Herman Moll
(See my Gallery for better image) Striking full color example of this attractive map of the Spanish Main generally consisting of the West Indies, Central America, Eastern Mexico, the Southern portion of North America including some of the British Colonies, and the Northern portion of South America.The map shows great detail with an interesting depiction of the coast lines, Florida, Yucatan and the Gulf Coast. The map shows territorial claims (designated by letter as noted in the upper left of the map), forts, ports, towns, waterways, mountains, lakes, islands, and a very interesting notation describing the navigable rivers through New Spain through which cannons and stores were brought to Acapulco. The most interesting characteristic of this map are the tracts of the Spanish treasure Galleons (noted 'Galeons and Flota" as well as "Gallions" on the map) along with commentary on those tracts.
