Robert Morden's 1688 Insula Jamaica map

 

This map was published in London in the 1688 edition of Geography Rectified or a Description of the World by Robert Morden, a well known English cartographer. It shows all of Jamaica with many towns and roads shown. Various other places are named as well. It is a very nice detailed map. The island is divided into districts and they are named in a key. The map is about 6×5 inches in size on a 8×6 inch page.  The color was applied later.
