A very nice and quite detailed antique map, which shows the mouth of the Mississippi into the gulf of Mexico. With Pensacola in Western Florida, Mobile Bay in Alabama and Louisiana with New Orleans. The map is equipped with many place names, lakes, rivers, etc. An unusual early nineteenth century map published in Germany. In excellent condition.
