JEFFERYS (Thomas sr.).
South Part of St. Domingo, or Hispaniola, ...

The southern coast of Hispaniola / San Domingo.

Although complete in itself, this map is one sheet from Thomas Jefferys’s sixteen sheet and inclued 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. Notably, there are several spots labelled “Sugar Works” along the Haina River in the Dominican Republic (Santo Domingo). This was one of the key sites of their sugar industry.
