This hand-drawn manuscript map, sketched in black ink on a rectangular piece of aged, tan-colored paper, depicts a segment of the Amazon River and its tributaries. The central focus is the horizontal, meandering path of the main river, which features several labeled islands and narrower branches. In the lower-left quadrant, four lines of cursive handwriting identify the work as "Cours de l'Amazone" followed by the name "Paul Le Cointe" and the dates "1892-1906". Various points along the riverbanks are marked with small symbols and handwritten labels in French, including "PROPRIÉTÉ" and specific site names like "MINTIQUARA" and "PIRATANÍ". Thin, dashed lines and arrows indicate directional paths or flow, and a vertical scale bar is located on the far left. The paper has irregular, slightly torn edges, particularly along the top. Centered below the bottom edge of the map is a horizontal color calibration strip with eight distinct squares: blue, cyan, green, yellow, red, magenta, white, and black.
