DESCRIPTION

A beautiful map of the entire Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, Islands, Central America, and parts of North and South America. The chart depicts the lines of deep-sea soundings along with the bottom profiles thereof. Bathymetry, soundings, places, islands, and coastal features are shown. An erratum is bound to the map as well.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

All of our United States Coast Survey (USCS), United States Coast & Geodetic Survey (USC&GS), and similar maps and charts have been professionally unfolded and flattened using humidity baths, semi-permeable membrane, and drying blotter techniques. Most others you typically see on eBay have not been, and worse, are quickly and crudely unfolded for the low-quality photos you see. Unfolding these maps in that way is damaging and weakens them. Please be aware.
