Jean Baptiste-Louis Franquelin, who was based in Quebec and received much of the information brought by the French explorers, was also a significant source of information for this map.This map was number 19 in a made-up atlas, Cartographie du Canada, assembled by Henry Harrisse and later bought by Samuel Latham Brown. It was disbound when purchased and is held separately by the Library.
