This uncommon small map of the continent shows the imaginary Mer de l'Ouest and a Northwest Passage stretching from Baffin Bay to the Archipel St. Lazare. There is not yet any sign of a recognizable Alaska. The British colonies are confined on the eastern seaboard with the huge French Louisiana territory stretching to the Pacific Northwest. Ft. Cenis is located in present-day Texas, and Habitations de Francois refugies appear above Charleston. The simple title cartouche features two Native Americans. The map is apparently based on Janvier's map of the same title.
