A large and beautiful map, Jeffery's The Coast of West Florida and Louisiana is considered the earliest obtainable large format engraved map of Florida and the Eastern Gulf and is one of the best 18th century maps of the region. The map provides a wealth of knowledge of English and Spanish trade routes, roads and trails, Native American settlements, etc., reaching from the mouth of the Mississippi and New Orleans in the west to the Bahamas in the east.
