Original 1902 Map BAHAMA ISLANDS Nassau Andros Eleuthera Abacos San Salvador

Description

Original 1902 antique color lithographed map of the Bahama Islands, printed more than 115 years ago.
The image area measures 25.4 x 34 cm [10" x 13½"], and the coverage area includes part of central Cuba and a sliver of the Florida coast. Longitude is measured from Greenwich and Washington.
Among the named places and features are Great Inagua, Ambergris Keys, Eleuthera, Grand Turk, Great Exuma, Bimini, Mayaguana Passage, Abacos Lighthouse, Austral Bay, Memory Rock, Caicos Banks, Andros, New Providence, Miami, and Nassau.
The map labels Cat Island as "San Salvador," the supposed site of the first landing of Columbus in 1492. But later analysis seemed to indicate that nearby Watling's Island was actually where he made landfall, and Watling's was renamed San Salvador in 1925.
