Plan of New Orleans the Capital of Louisiana: With the Disposition of its Quarters and Canals as they have been Traced by Mr. de la Tour in the Year 1720
| Map of New Orleans at the start of the French & Indian War, including two inset maps entitled "The Course of the Mississipi River from Bayagoulas to the Sea," and "The East Mouth of the Mississipi, with the Plan of Fort La Balise." It shows streets, roads, buildings, anchorages, forts, forests, marshes, ponds, bays, lakes, and rivers. A compass rose sits in the middle of the three maps, using the cardinal directions to separate them. A reference key appears as part of the main title cartouche, showing the location of important buildings within New Orleans. |
