The map covers an area bounded by the tip of Florida with the Keys south to Great Cayman, and from the top of the Yucartan Peninsula eastwards to Cuba, excluding the eastern tip of that island.

Although complete in itself, this map is formed from two sheets from Thomas Jefferys’s sixteen sheet chart, which was intended in his projected West India Atlas, published posthumously by Sayer and Bennett in 1775, which was the standard atlas of the region throughout the American Revolutionary War.
