Many portage routes are described throughout. Indigenous villages and architecture is noted along with Jesuit settlements. The largest significant French towns that are noted are Quebec City and New Orleans. The Mississippi River too far to the west with its mouth in what is present day Texas. Cape Cod is named as 'Hollandia'. Lower right margin trimmed, some toning but otherwise in good condition. From Recueil de Voyages au Nord. A wonderful early map of the region.<br/> <br/>
