DescriptionMap of parts of the provinces of Puerto Principe and Santiago de Cuba. The line between the provinces is colored red and delineated with a symbol. Places are marked with their name and a circular symbol. Roads and what appear to be railroads are shown. Physical features include swamps and islands. Water depth in fathoms is shown around the coastline. Other numbers are shown around on the map, in the areas representing water. Some of the numbers have letters representing some kind of units of measurement, although what they are is unclear. In the top right is an inset index map showing all of the maps in the series.
