This is the Homann edition of Bellin's definitive map of eastern Canada and New England showing the mouth of the St. Lawrence, the length of the river, the Maritime provinces and French claims in the region. This detailed map shows the extent of French exploration in the region. The map was copied from the first state of Bellin's map of the same title (1745) retaining the crude shape for Cape Cod.
