As he was returning to Montreal after having explored the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River, Joliet lost all of his records when his boat overturned in the St. Lawrence River within sight of Montreal. Shortly afterwards, he drew this map from memory.Item was removed from the Atlas du Canada assembled by Henry Harrisse.
