This elegant map by Bellin covers all of Nova Scotia including Cape Breton. Prince Edward Island, here called Isle Saint Jean, is shown in good detail, and Nova Scotia is in part named as Acadie. South of Nova Scotia numerous banks are noted where "la Peche est tres bonne" (the fish are very good). The Micmac tribe is named near Shelburne. A decorative rococo-style cartouche appears at bottom right. This is the third state of the map, with the number 37 at bottom right in manuscript.

References: Kershaw #786.
