This is a German version of Bellin's map of the islands of Montreal and Jesus in great detail. Montreal (here Stadt Maria) is depicted as a walled and fortified city. Forts Karen Spitze, Se. Annen, Senneville, Se. Geneviere, Roland, la Chine, etc. are located; as are the surrounding islands of Se. Therese, Ronde, Se. Helen, Perot and Bizard. This is the second state, published by Korn in 1776, with the additional inset plan of Montreal based on Thomas Jefferys important plan of the city.
