Additional Details

From the Suite du Neptune Francois. The cartography is derived from John Thornton's 1689 map, and thence from Augustine Herrman's cornerstone map of 1673.

"This large scale map, centered on Maryland and the Chesapeake Bay area, is one of the most beautiful in the history of the cartography of the region. Its basic representation of the coastal area is derived from Herrman, supplemented by new names, soundings and some features from Thornton and Fisher's, chart of 1689." -- Morrison, On the Map, 23.
