The geographical area depicted extends beyond the Caribbean to include Central America and the Caribbean, including the northern coast of South America. As is to be expected with a maritime chart, the northern portion of the gulf shows only coastal features, with Florida drawn as a series of closely associated islands on the eastern and southern tip. The sea areas are criss-crossed with rhumb lines and compass roses. A cartouche with the title with a dedication to Ferdinand VI of Spain, and the Spanish Royal coat of arms is shown. The publication date of 1755 was the second year of the French and Indian War. By the war's end, France was compelled to relinquish virtually the entirety of its American empire. Lopez published this chart to allow an overview of the numerous islands and southern coastal regions that were being fought over by the three main combatants. The following towns are featured: Maracaybo, Cordova, Carthagena, La Habana, New Orleans, Pensacola, and others.
