Cape Horn Beagle map 1828 small

The south-eastern part of Tierra del Fuego with Cape Horn, as surveyed by the H.M.S. Beagle in 1830-34. The original map is in tones of gray; the yellowish colors come from increasing the contrast prior to uploading the map and were left for better visibility map reads in the lower right (among others): "The South-Eastern Part of Tierra del Fuego with Staten Island, Cape Horn and Diego Ramirez Islands. Surveyed by Captain Robert Fitz Roy R.N. and the Officers of H.M.S. Beagle. 1830-1834" Depending on the intended use, this map in higher resolution might be obtained from the source or the uploader (see below).
