"Carte Generale du Canada en Petit Point", Lahontan, Louis Armand

The early and inaccurate geography on this map begins with a distorted Michigan and extends eastward to show most of the St. Laurence. Names Boston (Baston), Fort Niagara, Manhattan (Manat) but without Long Island, Fort de St. Joseph, Makinac, Saut Ste. Marie, Montreal and Quebec. The legend locates Portages, Indian Villages, and French Settlements. Blank verso. This rare French edition is Plate 187 in Kershaw with the acute "e" in Lac Erie and at upper left "Tom. 1 Pag. 1".

Condition: B+

Map itself is fine, but binding trim just into neatline at right with old paper laid in to provide full margin.
