"The most sophisticated rendering of the coast then available." -- Martin & Martin. The chart was very likely based on Spanish manuscripts, as its place names are for the most part still in Spanish. Martin and Martin further describe the Van Keulen sea atlas as a "work [that] was immediately recognized as superior to anything else on the market and enjoyed a considerable reputation for accuracy and detail." This chart includes the mouth of Mississippi River in addition to the entire Texas coastline.
