Carte Contenant le Royaume du Mexique et la Floride: Dressez sur les Meilleures Observations & sur les Mémoires les plus Nouveaux
| Map of North America showing political boundaries, areas of Indian habitation, cities, towns, ports, rivers, mines, and other notable for North America from the Great Lakes and New England in the north to the Sea of California, all of New Spain, the West Indies, and the northwest coast of South America. Mountains and some settlements appear pictorially. A block of text, "Remarque," sits in the bottom, and contains notes on Mexico and Florida. All of the Great Lakes except Lake Superior are shown and labeled, though "Lake Illinois" replaces Lake Michigan, and "Lake Michigane" replaces Lake Huron. |
