notes:

This map is unsigned, although historians attribute its creation to a military engineer in the service of Frontenac, governor-general of New France. The connection to Frontenac is assumed from the naming of the Mississippi River, "Riviere Buade," after the family name of Frontenac and in designating the surrounding area, "La Frontenacie." Furthermore, the name of the Arkansas River, "Riviere Bazire," refers to the Canadian merchant who supported Frontanac's scheme to construct a fort on Lake Ontario. Harrisse attributes the map to Hugues Randin de Buily who was involved in Frontenac's plan to build a fort on Lake Ontario. According to Jean Lelanglez much of the geographical information in this map was based on the expedition map of Louis Joliet, lost when the boat that Joliet was in overturned on the St. Lawrence River. Item was removed from the Atlas du Canada assembled by Henry Harrisse.
