Summary

Français : Carte du Mexique et de la Floride des Terres Angloises et des Isles Antilles: du Cours et des Environs de la Riviere de Mississipi |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
English: Cartouches by Charles Simmoneau the Elder.
Delisle's 1703 map, seen in this virtually identical 1745 reissue by his son-in-law and successor Philippe Buache, was one of the first printed maps to give a good general idea of the course of the Mississippi River and some of its major tributaries. It included information from d'Iberville's and La Salle's explorations, Spanish texts, Coronelli's (Penalosa's) New Mexico, Bisente's chart, and Sigüenza's map. East of the Mississippi Delisle's Apalachicola River flows almost due south from a large lake in present Tennessee based on information from seventeenth-century Englishman Richard Bristock or Brigstock. Delisle attempted to include locations of many Native American tribes, spelling their names in phonetic French: Alibamous, Chaktas, Chicachas, Caddodaquio, Choumans, and others. Delisle's map was widely copied throughout Europe. |
