The state is remarkably unsettled with less than two dozen towns shown. In the northeast corner is Washitta Parish with the land claims of Baron Bastrop and Mon. Rouge. On a full folio sheet (27.5 x 21") with French text on three sides describing the history, government and population. The population table lists numbers of whites, slaves and liberated slaves.
