Carte De La Louisiane Par le Sr. D'Anville Dressée en Mai 1732 en 1752

DESCRIPTION: Large, scarce antique map by d'Anville of the lower Mississippi, the Arkansas, the Red, the Osage, and lower Missouri rivers as well as much of the coast bordering on the Gulf of Mexico. States included in this copperplate-engraved French antique map are Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.

Large inset map of the Mississippi River system including the Illinois and Missouri Rivers with several French forts. Identifies locations of numerous native American Indian settlements including the Metchigamias, Caskakias, Osage, Kansez, Tapouchas, Chacchoumas, and Petits Akansas. The town of St. Louis, Missouri, not founded until 1763, is not shown but two references to the Cahokia Indians including an "Ancien Village des Caho." are identified.

This two-sheet map is sometimes found in separate sheets but here both sheets are joined together resulting in a large 37" wide image.

Points of interest include New Orleans, Pascagoula, Mobile, and Pensacola Bay (Baye de Ste. Marie de Galbes), and St. Josephs Bay.
