Cruttwell pays special attention to reefs, shoals, banks, and other underwater dangers on this map, labeling many by name. Though generally quite accurate, there are a number of interesting errors.

He also makes note of the Spanish Main, mainland coast of the Spanish Empire around the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. The Spanish Main was the point of departure for enormous wealth that was shipped back to Spain in the form of gold, silver, gems, spices, hardwoods, hides and other riches; because of this, the area was ripe territory for pirates and privateers. Outline color and fine copper plate engraving in the minimalist English style prevalent in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Mountains and topographical other detail shown by profile. Also makes note of rivers and shoals.
