One of the most authoritative maps for the islands of the Caribbean Sea. It shows the entire region in great detail, with coverage extending from the tip of Florida to the northern extents of Colombia and Venezuela, east to Barbados, and west to the eastern edge of Honduras, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua. Detailed bathymetry reveals the remarkable seafloor variation of the Caribbean including the Puerto Rico Trench, the deepest point in the Atlantic Ocean at 8,605 meters (28,232 feet).

Includes over 1,000 named places including country capitals, primary and secondary towns; political boundaries, important infrastructure, and all key landforms. Useful and informative notes about the region's history and unique geography are spread throughout the map, providing the reader further understanding of the Caribbean's unique attributes.

The map is encapsulated in heavy-duty 1.6 mil laminate which makes the paper much more durable and resistant to the swelling and shrinking caused by changes in humidity. Laminated maps can be framed without the need for glass, so the frames can be much lighter and less expensive.
