This is the French edition of Carey & Lea's map of Illinois. The map shows county development confined to the southern portion of the state, with a large Bounty Lands in the northwestern part of the state. County development is current as of 1819, with Crawford being formed from Clark County. The map (8.4 x 11.7") is surrounded by French text on a full folio sheet, with a table listing the population of each county.
