Few maps of the period pair New Spain and Florida on a single sheet, and this 1703 French map does exactly that, joining Mexico's interior to the peninsula and Gulf coast. Such maps were drawn in Paris at a time when France, Spain, and England all competed for the Gulf and southeastern Atlantic coasts. Its outlines of rivers, bays, and coastlines show how much of the interior was still known only from reports, so the map is useful for seeing what Europeans believed about the continent's geography around 1700.
