The map uses a Mercator projection, which is common for nautical charts due to its suitability for showing rhumb lines. The hand-illustrated watercolor painting in shades of yellow, sepia, and green emphasizes its aesthetic impact and detailed execution. The style is typical of Enlightenment cartography, characterized by precision and decorative elements. In the lower left corner, there is an elaborate Rococo cartouche adorned with maritime motifs such as shells and sea creatures, giving the scientifically accurate map an artistic touch. The map offers a comprehensive overview of Cuba with its cities, villages, estates, royal roads, rivers, bays, harbors, and anchorages. The administrative areas are marked by dashed lines, reflecting the political landscape of the time. The scale is given in French, English, and American nautical miles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003eHistorical maps show traces of time and use, the intensity and nature of which vary depending on the map and its purpose.
