A scarce map of Florida, the Gulf Coast and the Caribbean

A fine example of De Fer's folio-sized map of Central America, the West Indies and the Bahamas, with Bermuda engraved on the printed border upper right. Derived from Guillaume Delisle's map of 1701 'Carte des environs du Missisipi'. The map shows a well-defined Mississippi delta and Gulf Coast and locates La Salle's fort ('Fort de Francois') on Matagorda Bay, Texas ('Baye de St. Louis et de St. Bernard').
