Towns and rivers are identified stretching north and south along the Gulf of Mexico. Some interior towns are identified, but the focus of the map is the coastal region near la Veracruz. The modern day port city of Veracruz is represented by the San Juan de Ulúa fortress. Non-descript plants, trees, mountains, and hills are seen throughout the map, which is mostly drawn in a green color signifying fertile land and frequent rains. Many rivers are drawn, but the only named river is Río de Alvarado (Río de Papaloapan). Other items to note are the islands shown prominently in the Gulf of Mexico.
