This decorative map covers the majority of the continent, excluding Alaska and southern Mexico. The Northwest region is mostly blank except for notations concerning the recent discoveries by Bering, Tschirikow, and De Fuente. The River of the West is shown flowing out of Lake Winnipeg and another major river is depicted emptying into San Francisco Bay. Quivira is located in present day Nevada just below Nouvelle Albion suivant Drake. The British Colonies are confined to the eastern seaboard. The map includes a decorative title cartouche and is flanked by columns of French text pasted on the sheet, as was commonly done at the time. Brion was the former Geographer to the King of France, and Desnos was Geographer to the King of Denmark. Measures 18.8 x 11.0" with French text.
