A beautifully detailed map extends west to the Rio Grande and features oversized Great Lakes, with Texas labeled Country of the Cenis, and "Louisiana" placed over the entire southern Mississippi River Valley. Teeming with information, the sheet names missions, Indian villages and tribes and numerous rivers. Little trees dot nearly the whole map. A long note gives credit for the geography of the French portion of the map to the French cartographer Jacques Bellin. Large, decorative cartouche and compass rose ornament the map. Professionally encapsulated in archival Mylar.
