Antique French map of North America Amerique Septentrionale

Amerique Septentrionale Publiee sous les Auspices de Monseigneur de Duc d'Orleans Premier Prince du Sang

DESCRIPTION: Two joined sheets of D'Anville's four-sheet map of North America and the West Indies from 1746 (dated within). Much blank space west of the Mississippi River reflects the scarcity of information about the geography of Tecas (Texas) and most of the west United States save for that of the Spanish territories around New Mexico. D'Anville names and locates many native American tribes including the Chicachas, Canoatinos, the Cherakis, Iroquois, and Chetimachas (around Bayou Lafourche, Louisiana).

At upper left is an inset of Hudson Bay, Baffin Bay, Labrador, Baffin Bay, and Greenland.

Designed by Gravelot; engraved by Major.
