Cartobibliographic notes:
|
This map is a collaboration between Coronelli, Tillemon, and Nolin. It is one of the best representations of the period of the Great Lakes, particularly Lake Superior. Sources for the information shown on the map include Marquette, Joliet, and La Salle. 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.
