The inset map shows the the Gulf of St. Lawrence from the Strait of Belle Isle to Nova Scotia, with Newfoundland, Cape Breton, Isle of St. John and the coast to Gaspee Bay. Detailed soundings are given for both the river and gulf maps. Shoals and banks are colored in blue. An observation of sailing directions is in English and in a different hand than Rivez. Another copy of this map, also by Charles Rivez shows soundings for the gulf and none for the river. (see mssHM 15429).
