Notes
Plate 44 from unidentified source. This map gives a different perspective of the relationship that exists between countries and islands surrounding the Gulf of Mexico. By delineating only the Gulf Coast regions of the North, Central, and South America this map highlights the trade routes and cultural ties linking the circum-Caribbean area. Louisiana, for example, appears as an integral part of this region rather than North America.
