This scarce map of eastern Canada and Newfoundland extends south to Long Island. It illustrates the theater of the French and Indian War at a time when the tide began to turn in favor of the British. The map depicts harbors, towns, forts, and even waterfalls. Several Indian tribal territories are named, including Chomonchouans and Atticameoueks. There is good detail of the fishing banks in the North Atlantic.
