An engraved map depicts the Gulf of Mexico and the northern coast of South America, focusing on the region of Paria and the Orinoco River system. The map includes several Caribbean islands such as St. Lucia, St. Vincent, Grenada, and Margarita. It shows the complex delta and inland tributaries of the Orinoco, as well as the mythical Lake Cassipa and the city of Manoa. Coastal and interior regions are populated with the names of indigenous tribes and early European settlements. Mountain ranges are illustrated with hachures. Latitude markings (5, 10, 15) are visible along the left border.
