"A Map of Part of West Florida from Pensacola to the Mouth of the Iberville River with a View to show the proper Spot for a Settlement on the Mississipi", Lodge, John

Attractive map of the Gulf coast locating Fort Conde on Mobile Bay, with New Orleans and Plantations along the Mississippi well north of New Orleans. Large inset "Plan for a New Settlement" complete with extensive docks. This map was published in response to reports that the British government was considering the settlement of a colony on the banks of the Mississippi. The point suggested was near today's Baton Rouge, at the junction of the Mississippi and Iberville rivers.
