Geographical Description:
The map provides an excellent look at the region in conflict during the American Revolution, from the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays to Florida and extending west to Texas and the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers. Perhaps most notable within the map is the extensive road network illustrated. The map extends to include the Gulf of Mexico, the Bahamas and western Cuba. Mountain ranges appear in Floride Orientale, which is noted to be under British control. Floride Occidentale is shown to be a Spanish possession and incorporates the region of present-day Mississippi and Alabama. The explanation at lower right discusses both the capture of Pensacola by the Spanish in 1781 and the surrender of Cornwallis.
