At the top of the map is the title in French: Plan de Port-Royal et des Environs dans la Baye de Campeche which translates to Map of Port Royal and Surroundings in the Bay of Campeche and at the bottom below the map is the title in Dutch: Grondtekening van Port-Royal en de Omstreeken in de Cameche Baay which translates to the same as the French title.

St. Pierre ed St. Paul (San Pedro y San Pablo River or the River of St. Peter and St. Paul), Isle Tabasco (the area of Tabasco State in between the Grijalva River and the River and St. Peter and St. Paul), Savanes (Savannas), Lac de l'Ouest ou des Boeufs (Western Lake or Oxen Lake or modern Atasta), Lac de l'Est ou de la Crique (East Lake or Cove), Crique (Cove), I. de Buisson (Buisson Island), I. de Ferles (Ferles Island), Riv. Sumasenta, Ici etoit le Village Indien de Sumasenta (Sumasenta River, now dried up), Port Royal, Laguna Termina ou des Marees (Laguna Termina or Laguna of the Tides, Modern Laguna de Términos), Embouchure de Port Royal ou il ny a que 10 piers d'Eau (Port Royal Mouth or There are only 10 Feet of Water), Isla Port Royal (Port Royal Island, modern Isla del Carmen), Pas ou Canal (Canal), I.

Jacques-Nicolas Bellin who lived from 1703 to 1772 was an important cartographer of the 18th century. He is understood as geographe de cabinet and a transitional mapmaker spanning the gap between 18th and early 19th century cartographic styles. His long career as Hydrographer and Ingénieur Hydrographe at the French Dépôt des cartes et plans de la Marine resulted in hundreds of high quality nautical charts of practically everywhere in the world. His work focuses on function and accuracy tending in the process to be less decorative than the earlier 17th and 18th century cartographic work. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Bellin was always careful to cite his references and his scholarly corpus consists of over 1400 articles on geography prepared for Diderot's Encyclopedie. In addition to numerous maps and charts published during his lifetime, many of Bellin's maps were updated (or not) and published posthumously. He was succeeded as Ingénieur Hydrographe by his student, also a prolific and influential cartographer, Rigobert Bonne. Jakob van der Schley who lived from 1715 to 1779 was a Dutch engraver and painter. He has engraved the maps and views of the maps of the Dutch edition of Prevost's Histoire General des Voyage.
